Summary: Enables RNA 7-methylguanosine cap binding activity; eukaryotic initiation factor 4G binding activity; and translation initiation factor activity. Involved in translational initiation. Part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex. Is expressed in elongation stage spermatid; spermatid; spermatid cyst; spermatocyte; and spermatozoon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Orthologous to human EIF4E (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E) and EIF4E1B (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 1B).
