Summary: Predicted to enable translation initiation factor activity. Predicted to be involved in cytoplasmic translational initiation. Predicted to be located in P granule. Predicted to be active in cytoplasmic stress granule. Is expressed in germ line; intestine; neurons; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia and speech delay. Orthologous to several human genes including EIF4A1 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
