EIF2B Antibody / EIF2S2

• Description:

  Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 2, also called EIF2B, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF2S2 gene. This gene belongs to the EIF-2-beta family. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (EIF2) functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA and binding to a 40S ribosomal subunit. EIF2 is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, with the protein encoded by this gene representing the beta subunit. The beta subunit catalyzes the exchange of GDP for GTP, which recycles the EIF2 complex for another round of initiation.
