EIF5A (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with EIF5A include lung adenocarcinoma, and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and among its related super-pathways are Post-translational protein modification and Apoptotic Pathways in Synovial Fibroblasts. GO annotations related to this gene include ribosome binding and RNA binding. An important paralog of this gene is EIF5AL1.
