EIF3CL eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit C like

Gene ID: 728689, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a core subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3) complex. The encoded protein is nearly identical to another protein, eIF3c, from a related gene. The eIF3 complex binds the 40S ribosome and mRNAs to enable translation initiation. Several transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
