Background	The initiation of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells is regulated by interactions between protein initiation factors and RNA molecules. The eukaryotic initiation complex eIF4F exists in vitro as a trimeric complex of eIF4G, eIF4E, and eIF4A. Together, the complex allows ribosome binding to mRNA by inducing the unwinding of mRNA secondary structures. eIF4E is a 25 kDa protein that binds to the mRNA cap during an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis. eIF4A is a 46 kDa protein that acts as an ATP-dependent RNA helicase. eIF4G is 154 kDa protein that acts as a bridge between eIF4E, eIF4A and the eIF3 complex.
Synonyms	eIF-4F 25 kDa subunit, EIF-4E, EIF4EL1, EIF4F
