EIF2S3


Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF2S3 gene.

Function

2 functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA and binding to a 40S ribosomal subunit. eIF2 is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, with the protein encoded by this gene representing the gamma subunit.
