EIF2B5 Chromosome 3
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit epsilon
Upload your DNA to see your personal genotypes for variants in EIF2B5.
What This Gene Does
This gene encodes one of five subunits of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), a GTP exchange factor for eukaryotic initiation factor 2 and an essential regulator for protein synthesis. Mutations in this gene and the genes encoding other EIF2B subunits have been associated with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
