Function
A GTPase-activating protein, which helps the large ribosomal subunit associate with the small subunit. Involved in the initiation phase of eukaryotic translation. Stabilize the formation of ribosomal preinitiation complexes around the start codon and are an important input for post-transcription gene regulation. Helps with elongation and also plays a role in termination.
Reactome Pathway
Hypusine synthesis from eIF5A-lysine (R-HSA-204626 )
