EIF2B4- Name
- eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit delta
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- EIF-2B, EIF2B, EIF2Bdelta, VWM4
Eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), which is necessary for protein synthesis, is a GTP exchange factor composed of five different subunits. The protein encoded by this gene is the fourth, or delta, subunit. Defects in this gene are a cause of leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM) and ovarioleukodystrophy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
