EIF2S3

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 3 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF2S3 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (EIF-2) functions in the early steps of is_associated_with::protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA and binding to a is_associated_with::40S ribosomal subunit. EIF-2 is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma (this article), with the protein encoded by this gene representing the gamma subunit.
