Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit G

UniProtKB accession:  Q04067

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  RNA-binding component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which is involved in protein synthesis of a specialized repertoire of mRNAs and, together with other initiation factors, stimulates binding of mRNA and methionyl-tRNAi to the 40S ribosome. The eIF-3 complex specifically targets and initiates translation of a subset of mRNAs involved in cell proliferation (Potential). Binds to the 18S rRNA but non-specifically (PubMed:10085088).
