Description

translation initiation factor eIF2B subunit beta

Gene Summary

Enables enzyme regulator activity and translation initiation factor activity. Contributes to guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in regulation of translational initiation. Located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B complex. Used to study leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter and leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter 2. Orthologous to human EIF2B2 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
