.

AceView synopsis, each blue text links to tables and details
According to AceView, this gene is well expressed, 1.1 times the average gene in this release. The sequence of this gene is defined by 7 cDNA clones and 8 elements defined by RNA-seq.
The gene contains 3 distinct gt-ag introns. Transcription produces one mRNA. Variant a is transpliced to SL1.
Function: There are 4 articles specifically referring to this gene in PubMed. In addition we point below to 4 abstracts. Functionally, the gene has been proposed to participate in a process (translational initiation). Proteins are expected to have molecular functions (RNA binding activity, translation initiation factor activity) and to localize in cytoplasm.
The spliced mRNA putatively encodes a good protein, containing Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF-4E) domain [Pfam].

Exon size is proportional to length, intron height reflects the number of cDNAs supporting each intron, the small numbers show the support of the introns in deep sequencing (with details in mouse-over) . Introns of the same color are identical, of different colors are different. 'Good proteins' are pink, partial or not-good proteins are yellow, uORFs are green. 5' cap or3' poly A flags show completeness of the transcript.
