E.coli-derived human EIF6 recombinant protein (Position: N66-T210). Human EIF6 shares 99.3% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat EIF6.
Binds to the 60S ribosomal subunit and prevents its association with the 40S ribosomal subunit to form the 80S initiation complex in the cytoplasm. Behaves as a stimulatory translation initiation factor downstream insulin/growth factors. Is also involved
