======= 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]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q14232|Q14232]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=EIF2B1&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20EIF2B1|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/606686|Open OMIM]] == 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. |IF-2B| |eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B complex| |oligodendrocyte development| |translation initiation factor activity| |oligodendrocyte differentiation| |regulation of translational initiation| |guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity| |glial cell development| |response to heat| |response to glucose| |translational initiation| |response to hexose| |response to monosaccharide| |glial cell differentiation| |response to carbohydrate| |T cell receptor signaling pathway| |response to temperature stimulus| |gliogenesis| |antigen receptor-mediated signaling pathway| |regulation of translation| |translation| |response to peptide hormone| |regulation of cellular amide metabolic process| |peptide biosynthetic process| |immune response-activating cell surface receptor signaling pathway| |response to peptide| |immune response-regulating cell surface receptor signaling pathway| |posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression| |amide biosynthetic process| |peptide metabolic process| |immune response-activating signal transduction| |immune response-regulating signaling pathway| |activation of immune response| |cellular amide metabolic process| |positive regulation of immune response| |response to hormone| |central nervous system development| |response to organonitrogen compound| |identical protein binding| |response to nitrogen compound| |regulation of immune response| |positive regulation of immune system process| |response to abiotic stimulus| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |response to endogenous stimulus| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |neurogenesis| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |cell development| |regulation of immune system process| |cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |macromolecule biosynthetic process| |membrane| |gene expression| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp48|Mubritinib 0.2μM R01 exp48]]|-1.73| |[[:results:exp216|Erlotinib 10μM R05 exp216]]|2.49| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
