EIF1AY
EIF1AY, also known as eukaryotic initiation factor 1A, Y-linked, is a protein that plays a crucial role in the initiation of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. It is a member of the eukaryotic initiation factor 1 (eIF1) family, which includes eIF1A, eIF1B, and eIF1X. EIF1AY is specifically involved in the recruitment of the 43S preinitiation complex to the 5' end of the messenger RNA (mRNA) during translation initiation.
The EIF1AY protein is encoded by the EIF1AY gene, which is located on the Y chromosome in
EIF1AY is also involved in the regulation of translation initiation by interacting with other proteins and
Mutations in the EIF1AY gene have been associated with various genetic disorders, including X-linked mental retardation
