    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. 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 4. Orthologous to human EIF2B4 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit delta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
