    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 and guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor 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, Dec 2024]

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. findings provide compelling evidence that beta/Gcd7 is crucial for binding of substrate by eIF2B in vivo, beyond its dispensable regulatory role in the inhibition of eIF2B by eIF
      Title: The beta/Gcd7 subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (eIF2B), a guanine nucleotide exchange factor, is crucial for binding eIF2 in vivo.
    2. The eIF2/eIF5 complex represents a cytoplasmic reservoir for eIF2 that antagonizes eIF2B-promoted guanine nucleotide exchange, enabling coordinated regulation of translation initiation.
      Title: An eIF5/eIF2 complex antagonizes guanine nucleotide exchange by eIF2B during translation initiation.
    3. These data show that multiple contacts between eIF2gamma and eIF2Bepsilon mediate nucleotide exchange.
      Title: Critical contacts between the eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (eIF2B) catalytic domain and both eIF2beta and -2gamma mediate guanine nucleotide exchange.
