Eif2s3x - eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2, subunit 3, structural gene X-linked

Predicted to enable translation initiation factor activity. Predicted to contribute to tRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in formation of translation preinitiation complex and positive regulation of translational fidelity. Predicted to act upstream of or within translational initiation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; diaphragm; embryo mesenchyme; liver; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in MEHMO syndrome. Orthologous to several human genes including EIF2S3 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit gamma). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
