Eukaryotic Peptide Chain Release Factor Gtp-Binding Subunit Erf3A (GSPT1) Reagents

Eukaryotic peptide chain release factor GTP-binding subunit ERF3A

Involved in translation termination in response to the termination codons UAA, UAG and UGA. Stimulates the activity of ETF1. Involved in regulation of mammalian cell growth. Component of the transient SURF complex which recruits UPF1 to stalled ribosomes in the context of nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons. Required for SHFL-mediated translation termination which inhibits programmed ribosomal frameshifting (-1PRF) of mRNA from viruses and cellular genes.
