Summary
Enables RNA 7-methylguanosine cap binding activity and eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding activity. Involved in regulation of translation and translation. Located in cytosol. Part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head and gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in late onset Parkinson's disease. Orthologous to several human genes including EIF4G3 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 3).
