Gene: PAIP1
Alternate names for this Gene: -
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene interacts with poly(A)-binding protein and with the cap-binding complex eIF4A. It is involved in translational initiation and protein biosynthesis. Overexpression of this gene in COS7 cells stimulates translation. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and three transcript variants encoding three distinct isoforms have been identified.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 5
Location in Chromosome : 5p12
Description of this Gene: poly(A) binding protein interacting protein 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
