    Summary
    Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to translation initiation factor activity. Involved in follicle cell of egg chamber development. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; anterior endoderm; anterior endoderm anlage; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; and ganglia. Orthologous to human EIF3B (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
