Eif4g3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity and translation initiation factor activity. Predicted to be involved in spermatid development and translational initiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of meiosis I; positive regulation of protein metabolic process; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex. Predicted to be active in intracellular membraneless organelle and synapse. Orthologous to human EIF4G3 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 3). [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 rat Eif4g3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
