Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * The EIF2S1 gene is located on chromosome 15q26.1. * It is a member of the EIF2A family of proteins, which are essential for translation initiation in eukaryotes. * It is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, oogonial cells, and hematopoietic cells. **Pathways and functions:** * EIF2S1 is involved in the initiation of translation of cap-dependent mRNAs, including those that encode proteins involved in inflammation, metabolism, and cell growth. * It is also involved in the initiation of translation of viral mRNAs. * It is a key regulator of protein synthesis in many cell types. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the EIF2S1 gene have been linked to several human diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. * Inhibition of EIF2S1 has been shown to suppress protein synthesis and inhibit cell growth. * Therefore, EIF2S1 is a potential target for cancer therapy. **Additional notes:** * The EIF2S1 gene is also involved in the regulation of protein translation in plants. * It is a highly conserved gene, with a similar gene found in all eukaryotes. * The protein encoded by EIF2S1 is a multi-subunit protein that is composed of a catalytic domain and a regulatory domain.
