Entrez ID 8892
Gene name Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit beta
Gene symbol EIF2B2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
EIF-2BbetaEIF2BEIF2BbetaVWM2
Chromosome 14
Chromosome location 14q24.3
Summary This gene encodes the beta subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor-2B (EIF2B). EIF2B is involved in protein synthesis and exchanges GDP and GTP for its activation and deactivation. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
