Gene information for EIF4A3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9775
Official gene symbolEIF4A3
Full nameeukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A3
Aliases,DDX48,DKFZp686O16189,KIAA0111,MGC10862,NMP265,NUK34,eIF4AIII,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the DEAD box protein family. DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure, such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear matrix protein. Its amino acid sequence is highly similar to the amino acid sequences of the translation initiation factors eIF4AI and eIF4AII, two other members of the DEAD box protein family. [provided by RefSeq]
