UniProtKB description:  Ribosome-binding protein that promotes ribosome hibernation, a process during which ribosomes are stabilized in an inactive state and preserved from proteasomal degradation (PubMed:36653451). Acts via its association with eiF5a (eif5a and eif5a2) at the polypeptide exit tunnel of the ribosome, preventing mRNA translation (PubMed:36653451). Plays a key role in ribosome hibernation in the mature egg by preventing mRNA translation, leading to ribosome inactivation (PubMed:36653451). Ribosomes, which are produced in large quantities during oogenesis, are stored and translationally repressed in the egg and early embryo (PubMed:36653451).
