EIF4ENIF1

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E transporter is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF4ENIF1 gene.[5][6]

Quick Facts Available structures, PDB ...

The protein encoded by this gene is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein for the translation initiation factor eIF4E. This shuttle protein interacts with the importin alpha-beta complex to mediate nuclear import of eIF4E. It is predominantly cytoplasmic;its own nuclear import is regulated by a nuclear localization signal and nuclear export signals.[6]

Interactions

EIF4ENIF1 has been shown to interact with EIF4E.[5]
