This gene is a member of the methionyl aminopeptidase family and encodes a protein that binds 2 cobalt or manganese ions. This protein functions both by protecting the alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 from inhibitory phosphorylation and by removing the amino-terminal methionine residue from nascent protein. Increased expression of this gene is associated with various forms of cancer and the anti-cancer drugs fumagillin and ovalicin inhibit the protein by irreversibly binding to its active site. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 2. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
此基因是甲硫氨肽酶家族中的一员,并编码能结合2钴或锰离子的蛋白质。该蛋白质的功能都通过保护真核起始因子2的α亚基从抑制磷酸化和除去从初生蛋白的氨基末端甲硫氨酸残基。该基因的表达增加与各种形式的癌症和抗癌药物夫马洁林相关联,并且ovalicin通过不可逆地结合至其活性位点抑制蛋白质。该基因的假基因位于[由RefSeq的,2008年7月提供] 2号染色体
