NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex, which recognizes the 7-methylguanosine cap structure at the 5' end of messenger RNAs. The encoded protein aids in translation initiation by recruiting ribosomes to the 5'-cap structure. Association of this protein with the 4F complex is the rate-limiting step in translation initiation. This gene acts as a proto-oncogene, and its expression and activation is associated with transformation and tumorigenesis. Several pseudogenes of this gene are found on other chromosomes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
Uniprot Description
EIF4E: a protein of the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E family. Recognizes and binds the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap during an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis and facilitates ribosome binding by inducing the unwinding of the mRNAs secondary structures. Phosphorylation increases the ability of the protein to bind to mRNA caps and to form the EIF4F complex.

Product Notes
The EIF4E eif4e (Catalog #
AAA6475311) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The EIF4E, Phosphorylated (Ser209) (Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 4E, eIF4E, eIF-4E, mRNA Cap-binding Protein, eIF-4F 25kD Subunit, EIF4EL1, EIF4F) (FITC) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's EIF4E can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, FLISA, Dot Blot (DB). FLISA: 1:1,000 Dot Blot: 1:500 Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the EIF4E eif4e for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"EIF4E, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
