Translation initiation factor eIF-2B subunit gamma is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF2B3 gene.
Gene data
EIF2B3- Name
- eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit gamma
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- EIF-2B, EIF2Bgamma, VWM3
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 entry site-mediated translation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with leukodystrophy with vanishing white matter. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
