'''Eukaryotic initiation factors''' (EIF) are involved in the initiation of protein translation. They form a complex with the small subunit of the ribosome and Met-tRNA which scans the mRNA and recognizes the initiation codon AUG<ref>PMID:16449648</ref>. | '''Eukaryotic initiation factors''' or '''Eukaryotic translation initiation factors''' (EIF) are involved in the initiation of protein translation.
