CDC123
Description
The CDC123 (cell division cycle 123) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 10.
CDC123 is a human protein encoded by the CDC123 gene. This protein plays a crucial role in cell division, specifically in the formation of the eIF2 complex, which is essential for protein synthesis.
CDC123 acts as an ATP-dependent chaperone for the eIF2 complex, facilitating its proper folding. It binds to the gamma subunit of eIF2, enabling the assembly of the alpha and beta subunits. This interaction is direct and has been documented in various studies.
CDC123 is also known as C10orf7, D123.
