UniProtKB accession:  Q8IH18

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  eIF4E1-binding protein that regulates translation and stability of mRNAs in processing bodies (P-bodies) (By similarity). Probably plays a role in P-bodies to coordinate the storage of translationally inactive mRNAs in the cytoplasm and prevent their degradation (By similarity). Acts as a binding platform for multiple RNA-binding proteins. Required for the formation of P-bodies (By similarity).
