Protein name Eukaryotic initiation factor 4A-I (eIF-4A-I) (eIF4A-I) (EC 3.6.4.13) (ATP-dependent RNA helicase eIF4A-1)
Protein function ATP-dependent RNA helicase which is a subunit of the eIF4F complex involved in cap recognition and is required for mRNA binding to ribosome (PubMed:20156963). In the current model of translation initiation, eIF4A unwinds RNA secondary structures
