Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha or eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 α-subunit or α-subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 or EIF2S1 or eIF2α is a multimeric protein. EIF2S1 is used to refer to both the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha subunit protein and it's protein-encoding gene.[1]
Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha (EIF2S1) should not be confused with Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2A EIF2A, although both share the alias EIF2A.[2][1][3]
