Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 8891
Gene name Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit gamma
Gene symbol EIF2B3
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
EIF-2BEIF2BgammaVWM3
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p34.1
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is one of the subunits of initiation factor eIF2B, which catalyzes the exchange of eukaryotic initiation factor 2-bound GDP for GTP. It has also been found to function as a cofactor of hepatitis C virus internal ribosome e
