EIF2S2
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF2S2 gene.
Function
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (EIF-2) functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA and binding to a 40S ribosomal subunit. EIF-2 is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta (this article), and gamma, with the protein encoded by this gene representing the beta subunit. The beta subunit catalyzes the exchange of GDP for GTP, which recycles the EIF-2 complex for another round of initiation.
Regulation
Both eIF2-alpha and eIF2-beta expression is regulated by the NRF1 transcription factor.

If I Was You
by: Screeching WeaselSo if you were in my shoes
you're saying that you would basically have it made
Well if I was in your boots
I'm telling you I would be making things my way
I'd take what's mine if I was you
You'd never catch me killing time
if I was you
and I'd take everything that's mine
if I was you
I'd go and live my life
if I was you
If I was you
I'd wake up every day
and every day I'd save all my energy
For making everyday the someday
I talk about all the time
I'd take what's mine
if I was you
You'd never catch me killing time
if I was you
and I'd take everything that's mine
if I was you
I'd try and live my life
if I was you
If I was you
I would refuse to let anything pass me by
I would insist on a better life now
