EIF3CL, Official Symbol EIF3CLprovided by HGNC Official Full Name eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit C likeprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:26347 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000205609 AllianceGenome:HGNC:26347 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 Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a core subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3) complex. The encoded protein is nearly identical to another protein, eIF3c, from a related gene. The eIF3 complex binds the 40S ribosome and mRNAs to enable translation initiation. Several transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
