Summary: This gene encodes the alpha subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor complex 2B (eIF2B). The eIF2B complex is a heterodecamer comprised of two molecules each of alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon subunits. The eIF2B complex is a critical regulator of protein synthesis acting as the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for eIF2 to enable the formation of ternary complex that is required for the initiation of mRNA translation.

Inhibition of pancreatic protein synthesis in this model of acute pancreatitis most likely results from inhibition of translation initiation from increased eIF2alpha phosphorylation, reduction of eIF2B activity, and inhibition of eIF4F complex formation.
Title: Caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis inhibits protein synthesis through effects on eIF2B and eIF4F.

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.
