<p>This entry represents the N-terminal domain found in several eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit 12 (eIF-3 p25) proteins. Eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) is a multi-subunit complex that is required for binding of mRNA to 40S ribosomal subunits, stabilisation of ternary complex binding to 40S subunits, and dissociation of 40S and 60S subunits [<cite idref="PUB00010248"/>].</p>
