Eukaryotic Initiation Factor B (eIFB) is a crucial protein involved in the initiation of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. Synonyms for eIFB include eIF4B, translation initiation factor eIF-3 subunit B, and initiation factor eIF-4B. These synonyms are commonly used in scientific literature and discussions to refer to the same protein. eIFB functions by interacting with other initiation factors and promoting the assembly of the ribosome on the mRNA during translation. Understanding the various synonyms for eIFB ensures clarity and effective communication in scientific research, allowing scientists to exchange information and knowledge related to this important protein accurately.
