Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A-1-like (EIF5AL1)

Has an important function at the level of mRNA turnover, likely acting downstream of decapping. Involved in actin dynamics and cell cycle progression, mRNA decay and likely in a pathway involved in stress response and maintenance of cell wall integrity.

Functions as a regulator of apoptosis. Mediates effects of polyamines on neuronal process extension and survival.
