Related Product Information for anti-EIF4EBP1 antibody

4E-BP1 (also known as PHAS-1) normally binds eIF4E, inhibiting cap-dependent translation. Hyperphosphorylation of 4E-BP1 disrupts this binding, activating cap-dependent translation. The PI3 kinase/Akt pathway and FRAP/mTOR kinase regulate 4E-BP1. 4E-BP1 is phosphorylated in vivo on multiple residues; phosphorylation by FRAP/mTOR on Thr37 and Thr46 of human 4E-BP1 may prime it for subsequent phosphorylation at sites including Ser65 and Thr70.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes one member of a family of translation repressor proteins. The protein directly interacts with eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), which is a limiting component of the multisubunit complex that recruits 40S ribosomal subunits to the 5' end of mRNAs. Interaction of this protein with eIF4E inhibits complex assembly and represses translation. This protein is phosphorylated in response to various signals including UV irradiation and insulin signaling, resulting in its dissociation from eIF4E and activation of mRNA translation.

Uniprot Description

4E-BP1: binds to eIF4E, preventing its assembly into the EIF4F complex and inhibiting cap-dependent translation. Phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 disrupts this binding, activating cap-dependent translation. Mediates the regulation of protein translation by hormones, growth factors and other stimuli that signal through the PI3 kinase pathway.
