Literature associating EIF4E and skin squamous cell carcinoma
EIF4E [ENSP00000425561]
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E; Recognizes and binds the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap during an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis and facilitates ribosome binding by inducing the unwinding of the mRNAs secondary structures. Component of the CYFIP1-EIF4E-FMR1 complex which binds to the mRNA cap and mediates translational repression. In the CYFIP1-EIF4E-FMR1 complex this subunit mediates the binding to the mRNA cap.
Synonyms: EIF4E, EIF4Ep, hEIF4E, D6RBW1, D6RFJ3 ...
