This entry represents a C-terminal helical region present in eukaryotic initiation factor 3 chain H. This protein is part of the eIF3 complex that is involved in eukaryotic translation initiation. eIF3 is a large and structurally complex molecular assembly that, in the majority of eukaryotes, consists of 11-13 subunits (eIF3a-IF3m) with a molecular weight of 600-800 kDa.
