UniProt functional annotation for P55010

UniProt code: P55010.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Catalyzes the hydrolysis of GTP bound to the 40S ribosomal initiation complex (40S.mRNA.Met-tRNA[F].eIF-2.GTP) with the subsequent joining of a 60S ribosomal subunit resulting in the release of eIF-2 and the guanine nucleotide. The subsequent joining of a 60S ribosomal subunit results in the formation of a functional 80S initiation complex (80S.mRNA.Met-tRNA[F]).
 
Subunit: Interacts with FMR1 isoform 6; this interaction occurs in a RNA-dependent manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24658146}.
Similarity: Belongs to the eIF-2-beta/eIF-5 family. {ECO:0000305}.
