Peptide sequence around aa. 207~211 (S-G-S-T-T) derived from Human eIF4E.
Alternative Names:
mRNA cap-binding protein|| eIF-4F 25 kDa subunit
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.
