Eukaryot initieringsfaktor i proteinsyntesen. Faktorn består av tre underenheter: alfa, beta och gamma. När initieringen kommit igång bildar eIF-2 ett trippelkomplex med Met-tRNAi och GTP (guanosintrifosfat). Syn. eukaryot initieringsfaktor 2.
Eukaryotic initiation factor of protein synthesis. In higher eukaryotes the factor consists of three subunits: alpha, beta, and gamma. As initiation proceeds, eIF-2 forms a ternary complex with Met-tRNAi and GTP.
