Summary
Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity; translation initiation factor activity; and translation initiation factor binding activity. Involved in axon midline choice point recognition and response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of eukaryotic 43S preinitiation complex; eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 complex; and multi-eIF complex. Is expressed in adult head and organism. Orthologous to human EIF2S2 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
