| Tissue Specificity | Expression is highest in skeletal muscle, heart, kidney, and pancreas, whereas there is very little expression in brain and thymus. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated. |
| Function | Repressor of translation initiation that regulates EIF4E activity by preventing its assembly into the eIF4F complex: the hypophosphorylated form competes with EIF4G1/EIF4G3 and strongly binds to EIF4E, leading to repression of translation. In contrast, the hyperphosphorylated form dissociates from EIF4E, allowing interaction between EIF4G1/EIF4G3 and EIF4E, leading to initiation of translation. Inhibits EIF4E-mediated mRNA nuclear export. |
