EIF2B2


Translation initiation factor eIF-2B subunit beta is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF2B2 gene.

Function

Eukaryotic initiation factor-2B is a GTP exchange protein essential for protein synthesis. It consists of alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon subunits. EIF2B activates its EIF2 substrate by exchanging EIF2-bound GDP for GTP.

Interactions

EIF2B2 has been shown to interact with EIF2B5 and NCK1.
