EIF2D - eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2D Gene
Also Known as LGTN; HCA56
Species: Homo sapiens
About EIF2D
This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants) and 204 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in ovary (RPKM 12.2), thyroid (RPKM 9.1) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a translation initiation factor involved in the recruitment and delivery of aminoacyl-tRNAs to the P-site of the eukaryotic ribosome in a GTP-independent manner. This gene was previously referred to as ligatin, but is now known to localize to the cytoplasm and localize and function with translation factors. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]
