Vectors for Human EIF2A

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol EIF2A
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A
  • Other Aliases CDA02; EIF-2A; MST089; MSTP004; MSTP089
  • Other Desigations eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A; 65 kDa eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A; eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A, 65kDa
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    This gene encodes a eukaryotic translation initiation factor that catalyzes the formation of puromycin-sensitive 80 S preinitiation complexes and the poly(U)-directed synthesis of polyphenylalanine at low concentrations of Mg2+. This gene should not be confused with eIF2-alpha (EIF2S1, Gene ID: 1965), the alpha subunit of the eIF2 translation initiation complex. Although both of these proteins function in binding initiator tRNA to the 40 S ribosomal subunit, the encoded protein does so in a codon-dependent manner, whereas eIF2 complex requires GTP. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016] Annotation information: Note: EIF2A (Gene ID: 83939) and EIF2S1 (Gene ID: 1965) share the EIF2A symbol/alias in common. EIF2A is a widely used alternative name for eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit alpha (EIF2S1), which can be confused with the official symbol for eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A (EIF2A).
