About EIF4B

Cytogenetic location: 12q13.13 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:53,006,456-53,042,215 (from NCBI)

This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 262 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Ubiquitous expression in ovary (RPKM 285.6), thyroid (RPKM 146.6) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

Enables RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex assembly and formation of translation preinitiation complex. Located in cytosol. Biomarker of autism spectrum disorder and major depressive disorder. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
