Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E, also known as eIF4E, is a protein in humans encoded by the EIF4E gene. eIF4E plays a central role in translation initiation and is involved in regulating protein synthesis. Its activity influences a range of biological processes and disease states, making it an important target for therapeutic development, particularly in disorders characterized by aberrant protein production.
