Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a eukaryotic translation initiation factor that catalyzes the formation of puromycin-sensitive 80 S preinitiation complexes and the poly(U)-directed synthesis of polyphenylalanine at low concentrations of Mg2+. This gene should not be co

Protein name Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A (eIF-2A) (65 kDa eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A) [Cleaved into: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A, N-terminally processed]
Protein function Functions in the early steps of protein synthesis of a small number of specific mRNAs. Acts by directing the binding of methionyl-tRNAi to 40S ribosomal subunits. In contrast to the eIF-2 complex, it binds methionyl-tRNAi to 40S subunits in a co
