Eukaryotic peptide chain release factor GTP-binding subunit ERF3B is an
enzyme
Enzymes () are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions. The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products. A ...

gene
In biology, the word gene (from , ; "...Wilhelm Johannsen coined the word gene to describe the Mendelian units of heredity..." meaning ''generation'' or ''birth'' or ''gender'') can have several different meanings. The Mendelian gene is a ba ...

GSPT2 is closely related to GSPT1 (MIM 139259), a GTP-binding protein that plays an essential role at the G1- to S-phase transition of the cell cycle in yeast and human cells. GSPT1 is a positive regulator of translational accuracy and, in a binary complex with eRF1 (MIM 600285), functions as a polypeptide chain release factor.
