EIF4G2 — Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 2

EIF4G2 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 12 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

About the gene

Function

Appears to play a role in the switch from cap-dependent to IRES-mediated translation during mitosis, apoptosis and viral infection. Cleaved by some caspases and viral proteases.
