Text mining Term eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E
UniProt ID IF4E_RAT
Name eIF4E
mRNA cap-binding protein
eIF-4F 25 kDa subunit
eIF-4E
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E
Gene Names Eif4e
Taxonomy Rattus norvegicus

General annotation

Function Component of the CYFIP1-EIF4E-FMR1 complex which binds to the mRNA cap and mediates translational repression. In the CYFIP1-EIF4E-FMR1 complex this subunit mediates the binding to the mRNA cap (By similarity). Recognizes and binds the 7- methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap during an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis and facilitates ribosome binding by inducing the unwinding of the mRNAs secondary structures. May play an important role in spermatogenesis through translational regulation of stage-specific mRNAs during germ cell development.
