Summary: Enables translation initiation factor binding activity. Contributes to guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in several processes, including hippocampus development; negative regulation of guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity; and response to glucose. Part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter 4. Orthologous to human EIF2B4 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit delta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

The eukaryotic initiation factor 2B beta, gamma, delta and epsilon subunit protein levels are maximal at embryonic day 18 and then decrease during development. Aged hippocampus contain only trace amounts of these subunits.
Title: Developmental changes of eukaryotic initiation factor 2B subunits in rat hippocampus.
Significant increases in the relative abundance of the mRNAs coding for the epsilon (33%) and gamma (26%) subunits of eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 2B were observed 48 h after the exercise bout.
Title: Alterations in the expression of mRNAs and proteins that code for species relevant to eIF2B activity after an acute bout of resistance exercise.
insulin-like growth factor 1-induced eIF2B activation in neurons is effected by protein phosphatase 1, the activation of which is mediated by the MEK/MAPK signaling pathway
Title: Initiation factor 2B activity is regulated by protein phosphatase 1, which is activated by the mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent pathway in insulin-like growth factor 1-stimulated neuronal cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
