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 8.0.0) Predicted to enable nucleic acid binding activity and ribosome binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including SREBP signaling pathway; protein phosphorylation; 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 early conceptus; heart; 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] |
