Gene: EIF3G

Alternate names for this Gene: EIF3-P42|EIF3S4|eIF3-delta|eIF3-p44

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a core subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3) complex, which is required for initiation of protein translation. An N-terminal caspase cleavage product of the encoded protein may stimulate degradation of DNA. A mutation in this gene is associated with narcolepsy.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19p13.2

Description of this Gene: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit G

Type of Gene: protein-coding
