EIF2D
Sign in to saveAlso known as HCA56, LGTN, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2D
Ligatin, otherwise known as eIF2D, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGTN gene. This protein is not a component of the heterotrimeric eIF2 complex, but instead functions in different pathways of eukaryotic translation.

- eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2D
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- HCA56, LGTN
This gene encodes a translation initiation factor involved in the recruitment and delivery of aminoacyl-tRNAs to the P-site of the eukaryotic ribosome in a GTP-independent manner. This gene was previously referred to as ligatin, but is now known to localize to the cytoplasm and localize and function with translation factors. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011].
