Human Gene Set: GOCC_EUKARYOTIC_TRANSLATION_INITIATION_FACTOR_2B_COMPLEX

For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOCC_EUKARYOTIC_TRANSLATION_INITIATION_FACTOR_2B_COMPLEX

Standard name GOCC_EUKARYOTIC_TRANSLATION_INITIATION_FACTOR_2B_COMPLEX
Systematic name M25661
Brief description A multisubunit guanine nucleotide exchange factor which catalyzes the exchange of GDP bound to initiation factor eIF2 for GTP, generating active eIF2-GTP. In humans, it is composed of five subunits, alpha, beta, delta, gamma and epsilon. [PMID:9438375]
