EIF4E1B
Description
The EIF4E1B (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 1B) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 5.
EIF4E1B is a human protein encoded by the EIF4E1B gene. It is a member of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family.
EIF4E1B plays a crucial role in the initiation of protein synthesis by recognizing and binding to the 7-methylguanosine cap at the beginning of mRNA molecules. This binding facilitates ribosome attachment to the mRNA, which is further aided by EIF4E1B's ability to unwind the secondary structure of the mRNA.
EIF4E1B is also known as -.
