EIF3J, Official Symbol EIF3Jprovided by HGNC Official Full Name eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit Jprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:3270 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000104131 MIM:603910; AllianceGenome:HGNC:3270 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as EIF3S1; eIF3-p35; eIF3-alpha Summary This gene encodes a core subunit of the eukaryotic initiation factor 3 complex, which participates in the initiation of translation by aiding in the recruitment of protein and mRNA components to the 40S ribosome. There are pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 1, 3, and 9. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
