Protein
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 2
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
eIF-2 functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA. This preinitiation complex mediates ribosomal recognition of a start codon during the scanning process of the leader region.
Similarity
Belongs to the eIF-2-beta/eIF-5 family.
