Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to translation initiation factor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including IRES-dependent viral translational initiation; translational initiation; and viral translational termination-reinitiation. Predicted to be part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 complex, eIF3m. Predicted to be active in synapse. Orthologous to human EIF3B (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
