Gene information for EIF2B4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8890
Official gene symbolEIF2B4
Full nameeukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B, subunit 4 delta, 67kDa
Aliases,DKFZp586J0119,EIF-2B,EIF2B,EIF2Bdelta,
Gene summaryEukaryotic initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), which is necessary for protein synthesis, is a GTP exchange factor composed of five different subunits. The protein encoded by this gene is the fourth, or delta, subunit. Defects in this gene are a cause of leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM) and ovarioleukodystrophy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
