Gene information for EIF2B2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8892
Official gene symbolEIF2B2
Full nameeukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B, subunit 2 beta, 39kDa
Aliases,EIF-2Bbeta,EIF2B,
Gene summaryEukaryotic initiation factor-2B (EIF2B) is a GTP exchange protein essential for protein synthesis. It consists of alpha (EIF2B1; MIM 606686), beta (EIF2B2), gamma (EIF2B3; MIM 606273), delta (EIF2B4; MIM 606687), and epsilon (EIF2B5; MIM 603945) subunits. EIF2B activates its EIF2 (see MIM 603907) substrate by exchanging EIF2-bound GDP for GTP.[supplied by OMIM]
