(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1967
Official gene symbolEIF2B1
Full nameeukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B, subunit 1 alpha, 26kDa
Aliases,EIF2B,EIF2BA,MGC117409,MGC125868,MGC125869,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes one of five subunits of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), a GTP exchange factor for eukaryotic initiation factor 2 and an essential regulator for protein synthesis. Mutations in this gene and the genes encoding other EIF2B subunits have been associated with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter. [provided by RefSeq]
