Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-5 MeSH Descriptor Data 2025


MeSH Heading
Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-5
Tree Number(s)
D12.644.360.325.150.300
D12.776.476.325.150.300
D12.776.835.725.868.750
Unique ID
D040061
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D040061
Scope Note
A eukaryotic initiation factor that interacts with the 40S initiation complex and promotes the hydrolysis of the bound GTP. The hydrolysis of GTP causes the release of EUKARYOTIC INITIATION FACTOR-2 and EUKARYOTIC INITIATION FACTOR-3 from the 40S subunit and the subsequent joining of the 60S ribosomal subunit to the 40S complex to form the functional 80S initiation complex
Entry Term(s)
