Tbio EIF2B1 Translation initiation factor eIF-2B subunit alpha

Protein Summary

Description

Catalyzes the exchange of eukaryotic initiation factor 2-bound GDP for GTP. This gene encodes one of five subunits of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), a GTP exchange factor for eukaryotic initiation factor 2 and an essential regulator for protein synthesis. Mutations in this gene and the genes encoding other EIF2B subunits have been associated with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
