Eif1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity; ribosomal small subunit binding activity; and translation initiation factor activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of translational initiation and translational initiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of mRNA cis splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be part of eukaryotic 43S preinitiation complex; eukaryotic 48S preinitiation complex; and multi-eIF complex. Orthologous to human EIF1 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 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 rat Eif1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
