    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic,ribosome
    intracellular,nucleus
    basic FUNCTION
  • translational repressor,negatively regulating translation by eIF4E (overexpression specifically reduces EIF4E-dependent translation)
  • acting as a tumor suppressor
    • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, translation/synthesis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • assembling with eIF4A, eIF4B, eIF4E, eIF4EBP1, eIF4EBP2, MNK1, eIF4G and PABPC1 to form the eukaryotic translation initiation complex eIF4F
    • INTERACTION
