Descriptor English: Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-2
Descriptor Spanish: Factor 2 Eucariótico de Iniciación
Descriptor factor de iniciación eucariótico 2
Entry term(s) EIF-2
factor EIF-2 de iniciación de péptidos
Scope note: Factor eucariótico de iniciación de la síntesis proteica. En eucariotas superiores, el factor está formado por tres subunidades: alfa, beta y gamma. A medida que se produce la iniciación, el eIF-2 forma un complejo ternario con Met-tRNAi y GTP.
