Summary
Enables translation initiation factor binding activity. Contributes to guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in several processes, including hippocampus development; response to glucose; and response to lithium ion. Part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter. Orthologous to human EIF2B5 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit epsilon).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
