About EIF5B

Cytogenetic location: 2q11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:99,337,389-99,401,326 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 108 orthologues and 18 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in heart (RPKM 26.2), testis (RPKM 23.3) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

Accurate initiation of translation in eukaryotes is complex and requires many factors, some of which are composed of multiple subunits. The process is simpler in prokaryotes which have only three initiation factors (IF1, IF2, IF3). Two of these factors are conserved in eukaryotes: the homolog of IF1 is eIF1A and the homolog of IF2 is eIF5B. This gene encodes eIF5B. Factors eIF1A and eIF5B interact on the ribosome along with other initiation factors and GTP to position the initiation methionine tRNA on the start codon of the mRNA so that translation initiates accurately.
