Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables mRNA cap binding activity and translation initiation factor activity. Involved in mRNA export from nucleus; regulation of translation at postsynapse, modulating synaptic transmission; and translational initiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral fear response; cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; and negative regulation of translation. Located in chromatoid body and nuclear body. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; oocyte; polar body; and spleen. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Orthologous to human EIF4E (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E).
