Abstract:Eukaryotic initiation factor subunit I (EIF3i), also called as p36 or TRIP-1, is a component of the translation initiation complex and acts as a modulator of TGF-β signaling. We demonstrated earlier that this intracellular protein is not only exported to the extracellular matrix via exosomes but also binds calcium phosphate and promotes hydroxyapatite nucleation. To assess other functional roles of TRIP-1, we first examined their phylogeny and showed that it is highly conserved in eukaryotes. Comparing human E… Show more

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
