    basic FUNCTION
  • eukaryotic translation initiation factor
  • stabilizing initiator Met tRNA (TRIMs) binding to 40S subunits
  • regulates cell growth and viability, and overexpression of the gene may provide growth advantage to the cancer cells
  • promoting the association of Met-tRNA and mRNA
  • high EIF3H levels directly stimulate protein synthesis, resulting in the establishment and maintenance of the malignant state in cells
  • plays a central role in translation initiation
  • has specific as well as redundant functions during early development
    • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, initiation
    protein, translation/synthesis
