Target Details for EIF4A1

Target: EIF4A1 (Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 4A1 (EIF4A1))

Alternative Name: EIF4A1

Background:

Background Information: EIF4A1 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase which is a subunit of the eIF4F complex involved in cap recognition and is required for mRNA binding to ribosome. In the current model of translation initiation, eIF4A unwinds RNA secondary structures in the 5'-UTR of mRNAs which is necessary to allow efficient binding of the small ribosomal subunit, and subsequent scanning for the initiator codon.
