NCIt definition : Human EIF2B3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p34.1 and is approximately
136 kb in length. This allele, which encodes translation initiation factor eIF2B subunit
gamma protein, plays a role in guanyl-nucleotide exchange activity that regulates
translation initiation. Mutations in the gene are associated with leukoencephalopathy
