In Eukaryota and Archaea, translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2/aIF2), which contains three subunits (alpha, beta and gamma), is pivotal for binding of charged initiator tRNA to the small ribosomal subunit. This entry represents the alpha subunit of both eukaryota and archaeal translation initiator factor 2.
