Summary | The protein encoded by this gene is a eukaryotic translation initiation factor that regulates both ribosome biogenesis and translation, which are rate-limiting factors for cell growth. The encoded protein binds 60S ribosomes and prevents their association with 40S ribosomes. This gene may play a role in oncogenesis as well. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]. |
