Primary Identifier | MGI:95304 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 75705 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA strand annealing activity; RNA strand-exchange activity; and ribosomal small subunit binding activity. Predicted to be involved in eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex assembly and formation of translation preinitiation complex. Predicted to be located in cytosol; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Orthologous to human EIF4B (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele die between E14.5 and E16.5 and are pale, with severe embryonic dysplasia, small size, and smaller liver. [provided by MGI curators] |
