======= EIF2B1 =======
== Gene Information ==
* **Official Symbol**: EIF2B1
* **Official Name**: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit alpha
* **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A
* **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=1967|1967]]

== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: This gene encodes one of five subunits of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), a GTP exchange factor for eukaryotic initiation factor 2 and an essential regulator for protein synthesis. Mutations in this gene and the genes encoding other EIF2B subunits have been associated with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009].
* **UniProt Summary**: Catalyzes the exchange of eukaryotic initiation factor 2-bound GDP for GTP.
