Function

The ~800 kDa eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) is the largest eIF and contains at least 12 subunits, including eIF3k/EIF2S12. eIF3 plays an essential role in translation by binding directly to the 40S ribosomal subunit and promoting formation of the 43S preinitiation complex.[8][7]

Interactions

eIF3k has been shown to interact with Cyclin D3[9] and eIF3a.[6][10]
