- Storage:
- Store at -20°C for long term preservation (recommended). Store at 4°C for short term use.
- Immunogen:
- Peptide sequence around aa.49~53 (E-L-S-R-R) derived from Human eIF2a.
- other_names:
- Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit alpha; EIF-2A;
- Purification:
- Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptide and KLH conjugates. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific peptide.
- Specificity:
- The antibody detects endogenous level of total eIF2a protein.
- Background:
Functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA. This complex binds to a 40S ribosomal subunit, followed by mRNA binding to form a 43S preinitiation complex. Junction of the 60S ribosomal subunit to form the 80S initiation complex is preceded by hydrolysis of the GTP bound to eIF-2 and release of an eIF-2-GDP binary complex. In order for eIF-2 to recycle and catalyze another round of initiation, the GDP bound to eIF-2 must exchange with GTP by way of a reaction catalyzed by eIF-2B.
