products description :
EIF4E, a member of eukaryotic initiation factor 4 families, modulates translation of maternal mRNAs in early embryos before the onset of zygotic transcription. This protein recognizes and binds to the 7 methyl GTP cap structure of eukaryotic mRNAs, thereby mediating the initiation of translation. It facilitates ribosome binding by inducing the unwinding of the mRNAs secondary structures. Recombinant human EIF4E protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex, which recognizes the 7-methylguanosine cap structure at the 5' end of cellular mRNAs. The encoded protein aids in translation initiation by recruiting ribosomes to the mRNA. Association of this protein with the 4F complex is the rate-limiting step in translation initiation. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
uniprot summary :
EIF4E: a protein of the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E family. Recognizes and binds the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap during an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis and facilitates ribosome binding by inducing the unwinding of the mRNAs secondary structures. Phosphorylation increases the ability of the protein to bind to mRNA caps and to form the EIF4F complex. Protein type: Translation initiation; Translation. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q23. Cellular Component: mRNA cap complex; stress granule; cytoplasm; eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex; cytosol. Molecular Function: protein binding; eukaryotic initiation factor 4G binding; translation initiation factor activity; RNA cap binding. Biological Process: translation; viral reproduction; cytokine and chemokine mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of mitotic cell cycle; regulation of translation; poly(A) tail shortening; mRNA export from nucleus; cellular protein metabolic process; translational initiation; insulin receptor signaling pathway; gene expression; mRNA catabolic process, deadenylation-dependent decay; G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; lung development.
