gene: drr-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable RNA strand annealing activity; RNA strand-exchange activity; and ribosomal small subunit binding activity. Predicted to be involved in eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex assembly and formation of translation preinitiation complex. Part of eukaryotic 48S preinitiation complex. Expressed in several structures, including coelomocyte; excretory canal; neurons; ventral nerve cord; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Williams-Beuren syndrome. Is an ortholog of human EIF4H (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4H).
