Predicted to enable translation initiation factor activity. Predicted to contribute to tRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of male gonad development and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 complex. Is expressed in seve
ral structures, including cerebral cortex; genitourinary system; heart; liver; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in MEHMO syndrome. Orthologous to human EIF2S3 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit gamma). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
