EIF4EBP2

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 2 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF4EBP2 is_associated_with::gene.

Animal studies
EIF4EBP2 is_associated_with::knockout mice have been used as an animal model of autism. Mice without the Eif4ebp2 gene exhibited autism-like symptoms, including poor social interaction, altered communication and repetitive behaviors. Knockout mice have high levels of is_associated_with::Neuroligins.

Interactions
EIF4EBP2 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::EIF4E.
