Target Information

Component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which is required for several steps in the initiation of protein synthesis.
The eIF-3 complex associates with the 40S ribosome and facilitates the recruitment of eIF-1, eIF-1A, eIF-2:GTP:methionyl-tRNAi, and eIF-5 to form the 43S preinitiation complex (43S PIC).
It stimulates mRNA recruitment to the 43S PIC and scanning for AUG recognition, and is also required for disassembly and recycling of post-termination ribosomal complexes.
Additionally, it prevents premature joining of the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits prior to initiation.
Required for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD); may act in conjunction with UPF2 to divert mRNAs from translation to the NMD pathway.
May interact with MCM7 and EPAS1 and regulate the proteasome-mediated degradation of these proteins.
