Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 4E Type 2

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein

**Definition:** Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E type 2 (245 aa, ~28 kDa) is encoded by the human EIF4E2 gene. This protein is involved in recognition of and binding to the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap during translation initiation.
