Predicted to enable translation initiation factor activity. Predicted to contribute to tRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in formation of translation preinitiation complex. Predicted to be part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 complex. Expressed in tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in MEHMO syndrome. Is an ortholog of human EIF2S3 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit gamma) and EIF2S3B (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit gamma B).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
