EIF4E2 eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 2

Gene ID: 9470, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: 4EHP; IF4e; 4E-LP; h4EHP; EIF4EL3

Summary

Enables RNA 7-methylguanosine cap binding activity; mRNA cap binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of translational initiation; negative regulation of type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway; and rescue of stalled ribosome. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on miRNA-mediated gene silencing by inhibition of translation. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of translation. Located in P-body.
