Eif5a - eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A

Predicted to enable U6 snRNA binding activity; protein N-terminus binding activity; and translation elongation factor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to thyroid hormone stimulus; positive regulation of reactive oxygen species metabolic process; and regulation of apoptotic process. Located in dendrite and neuronal cell body. Is active in synapse. Orthologous to several human genes including EIF5A (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A).
