Abstract excerpt
A full-length cDNA clone encoding the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A, isoform 2 (EIF4A2), was cloned from the fetal skeletal cDNA library from the pig (Sus scrofa). EIF4A2 is a highly conserved gene for one of the protein-synthesis initiation factors involved in the binding of mRNA to the ribosome. Based on this cDNA sequence, the deduced protein of 407 amino acids contains the characteristic motifs...
