Facts about Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 3, X-linked.
This step is followed by mRNA binding to form the 43S pre-initiation complicated. Junction of the 60S ribosomal subunit to form the 80S initiation complex is preceded by hydrolysis of the GTP bound to eIF2 and launch of an eIF2-GDP binary complex.

Widely expressed. In the brain, high mRNA levels are observed in specific regions, including the habenula, anterodorsal thalamic nucleus, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and cerebellum. Also expressed in the embryonic brain. There is a differential expression between males and females, wich is tissue- specific. Females tend to have higher expression levels than males in the brain (cortex, hippocampus and paraventricular nucleus, but not in the habenula), as well as in other tissues. The up- regulation observed in females at the mRNA level may be due to the presence of 2 active copies of the gene.
