Description
Predicted to have guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity; translation initiation factor activity; and translation initiation factor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in biosynthetic process. Predicted to localize to eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter. Is expressed in midbrain; myotome; optic vesicle; pharyngeal arch; and retina. Orthologous to human EIF2B5 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit epsilon).
