EIF4G3

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 3 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF4G3 is_associated_with::gene. The gene encodes a protein that functions in translation by aiding the assembly of the is_associated_with::ribosome onto the is_associated_with::messenger RNA template. Confusingly, this protein is usually referred to as eIF4GII, as although EIF4G3 is the third gene that is similar to is_associated_with::eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma, the second is_associated_with::isoform is_associated_with::EIF4G2 is not an active translation initiation factor.

Interactions
EIF4G3 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::PABPC1.
