Eif4e2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable RNA 7-methylguanosine cap binding activity; mRNA cap binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of translational initiation; negative regulation of type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway; and rescue of stalled ribosome. Predicted to act upstream of with a positive effect on miRNA-mediated gene silencing by inhibition of translation. Predicted to act upstream of or within in utero embryonic development and negative regulation of translation. Predicted to be located in P-body. Orthologous to human EIF4E2 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 2). [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 Eif4e2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
