Eif4ebp1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding activity. Involved in IRES-dependent translational initiation of linear mRNA. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; insulin receptor signaling pathway; and negative regulation of translational initiation. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; oocyte; pancreas tip epithelium; skeletal musculature; and thymus. Orthologous to human EIF4EBP1 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Eif4ebp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
