Primary Identifier | MGI:1098684 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 229317 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable nucleic acid binding activity and ribosome binding activity. Acts upstream of or within SREBP signaling pathway; positive regulation of signal transduction; and translation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of cytosolic small ribosomal subunit and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; lens; liver; and ovary. Orthologous to human EIF2A (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele are viable and fertile with no visible phenotypes. [provided by MGI curators] |
