EIF2B5- Name
- eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit epsilon
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- CACH, CLE, EIF-2B, EIF2Bepsilon, LVWM, VWM5
This gene encodes one of five subunits of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), a GTP exchange factor for eukaryotic initiation factor 2 and an essential regulator for protein synthesis. Mutations in this gene and the genes encoding other EIF2B subunits have been associated with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009].
