This gene is located on the non-recombining region of the Y chromosome. It encodes a protein related to eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1A (EIF1A), which may function in stabilizing the binding of the initiator Met-tRNA to 40S ribosomal subunits. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
A study in humans analyzing heart tissue from patients with various structural heart diseases identified the EIF1AY as significantly up-regulated (mean fold change 3.0338, adjusted p-value 1.8035 × 10^-06) and part of a 62-gene expression signature that achieved approximately 95% classification accuracy for distinguishing diseased from control samples [Fajarda et al. DOI:10.1186/s13040-020-00217-8]. A separate analysis of platelet transcriptomes from acute myocardial infarction patients identified the EIF1AY as a hub gene in the salmon module for NSTEMI patients, noting it had been previously identified as a target gene of microRNAs in coronary heart disease [Zhang et al. DOI:PMC8129354].
