Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - The eIF2B1 gene is located on chromosome 17q21.1. - It is a large gene encoding a protein of 1,361 amino acids. - It is a member of the EIF2 family of translation initiation factors. - The eIF2B1 protein is a key regulator of translation initiation. - It interacts with the eIF4E protein to form the eIF2 complex, which is required for the initiation of protein translation. **Pathways and functions:** - The eIF2B1 protein is involved in cap-dependent translation initiation, cytoplasmic translational initiation, and eukaryotic translation initiation. - It is also involved in the regulation of protein translation initiation factor activity. - The eIF2B1 protein is a key regulator of the translation of genes involved in development, differentiation, and homeostasis. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in the eIF2B1 gene have been linked to several human diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic disorders. - The eIF2B1 gene is a promising target for cancer therapy. - Targeting the eIF2B1 gene with small molecule inhibitors is being investigated as a treatment for cancer and other diseases that are characterized by abnormal translation initiation.
