Protein

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A

Gene

Eif2a

Organism

Mus musculus (Mouse)

Status

Reviewed-Annotation score: -Experimental evidence at protein levelⁱ

Functionⁱ

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 codon-dependent manner, whereas the eIF-2 complex binds methionyl-tRNAi to 40S subunits in a GTP-dependent manner.By similarity
