NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a highly conserved protein kinase in the calmodulin-mediated signaling pathway that links activation of cell surface receptors to cell division. This kinase is involved in the regulation of protein synthesis. It phosphorylates eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (EEF2) and thus inhibits the EEF2 function. The activity of this kinase is increased in many cancers and may be a valid target for anti-cancer treatment. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
EEF2K: an atypical protein kinase of the Alpha family. Dependent on Ca2 ions and calmodulin. May play a key role linking cellular energy status and the inhibition of protein synthesis, a major consumer of metabolic energy. Phosphorylates and inactivates eEF2, resulting in the inhibition of peptide-chain elongation eEF2K is phosphorylated and activated by AMPK in response to elevated AMP levels, which increase during cellular stress and starvation. Regulated in response to a range of stimuli including TNF-alpha. Overexpressed in breast cancer cell lines and tumors. Activated in rat glioblastoma, and growth was inhibited by the drug Rottlerin. Activity induced in ischemic heart muscle

Product Notes
The Human, Rat EEF2K eef2k (Catalog #AAA9501021) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9501021 ELISA Kit recognizes Human, Rat EEF2K. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "eEF2K, ELISA Kit" 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.Precautions
