Translation Initiation Factor-EIF-2B Beta Subunit Definition
Encoded by human EIF2B2 Gene (EIF2B Alpha/Beta/Delta Family), 351-aa 39-kDa Translation Initiation Factor EIF-2B Beta Subunit acts in EIF2B, a heteropentameric complex of alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon subunits essential for protein synthesis that catalyzes GDP/GTP exchange of its Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 2 substrate. For EIF2 to perform additional rounds of initiation, it must be recycled by GDP/GTP exchange. EIF2B2 defects cause VWM and ovarioleukodystrophy. (NCI)
