EIF3K

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit K is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF3K is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The 700-kD eukaryotic translation initiation factor-3 (eIF3) is the largest eIF and contains at least 12 subunits, including EIF2S12. eIF3 plays an essential role in translation by binding directly to the 40S ribosomal subunit and promoting formation of the 40S preinitiation complex (Mayeur et al., 2003).[supplied by OMIM]

Interactions
EIF3K has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::Cyclin D3 and is_associated_with::EIF3A.
