EIF4E3
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF4E3 gene.[3]
EIF4E3 belongs to the EIF4E family of translational initiation factors that interact with the 5-prime cap structure of mRNA and recruit mRNA to the ribosome.[3][4]
Model organisms
Model organisms have been used in the study of EIF4E3 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Eif4e3tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi[9][10] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.[11][12][13]
Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[7][14] Twenty four tests were carried out on mutant mice but no significant abnormalities were observed.[7]
