The protein encoded by this gene is one of the subunits of
initiation factor eIF2B, which catalyzes the exchange of eukaryotic
initiation factor 2-bound GDP for GTP. It has also been found to
function as a cofactor of hepatitis C virus internal ribosome entry
site-mediated translation. Mutations in this gene have been
associated with leukodystrophy with vanishing white matter.
Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different
isoforms have been found for this gene.1) Rose, J. Phd, et al. Mol. Med. (2010) In press :
