Caenorhabditis elegans Enables RNA 7-methylguanosine cap binding activity. Involved in embryo development. Predicted to be located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex. Expressed in germ line; gonad; and oocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Is an ortholog of human EIF4E (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E) and EIF4E1B (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 1B).
