Eif3m Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables translation initiation factor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within translation. Part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 complex, eIF3m. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; liver; metanephros; thymus primordium; and upper jaw tooth. Orthologous to human EIF3M (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit M). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Eif3m often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
