Gene:
eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E nuclear import factor 1
Gene ID:
200602
Symbol:
EIF4ENIF1
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein for the translation initiation factor eIF4E. This shuttle protein interacts with the importin alpha-beta complex to mediate nuclear import of eIF4E. It is predominantly cytoplasmic;its own nuclear import is regulated by a nuclear localization signal and nuclear export signals.
