EIF4E3, Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E type 3, eIF-4E type 3, eIF-4E3, eIF4E type 3, eIF4E-3
EIF4E3 belongs to the EIF4E family of translational initiation factors that interact with the 5-prime cap structure of mRNA and recruit mRNA to the ribosome (Joshi et al., 2004 [PubMed 15153109]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],function:Recognizes and binds the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap during an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis. May act as an inhibitor of EIF4E1 activity.,similarity:Belongs to the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E family.,subunit:eIF4F is a multi-subunit complex, the composition of which varies with external and internal environmental conditions. It is composed of at least eIF4A, eIF4E and eIF4G (By similarity). EIF4E3 interacts with EIF4G1, but not with EIF4EBP1, EIF4EBP2 and EIF4EBP3.,
