Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2 Alpha Kinase 1 Recombinant Protein | EIF2aK1 recombinant protein
Recombinant Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2 Alpha Kinase 1 (EIF2aK1)
PBS, pH7.4, containing 0.01% SKL, 1mM DTT, 5% Trehalose and Proclin300.
Stability: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Accurate Molecular Mass: 51kDa
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene acts at the level of translation initiation to downregulate protein synthesis in response to stress. The encoded protein is a kinase that can be inactivated by hemin. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
Uniprot Description
HRI: a protein kinase of the PEK family. Phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 in response to various stress conditions, inhibiting protein synthesis at the level of initiation. Its kinase activity is induced by low levels of heme and inhibited by the presence of heme. Binding of nitric oxide (NO) to the heme iron in the N-terminal heme-binding domain activates the kinase activity, while binding of carbon monoxide (CO) suppresses kinase activity. Requires association with a multiprotein complex containing Hsp90, CDC37 and PPP5C for maturation and activation by autophosporylation. Two alternatively spliced isoforms have been described.

Product Notes
The EIF2aK1 eif2ak1 (Catalog #AAA2123366) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is Phe167~Phe583. AAA Biotech's Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2 Alpha Kinase 1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Positive Control, Immunogen, SDS-PAGE, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the EIF2aK1 eif2ak1 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 "Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2 Alpha Kinase 1, Recombinant Protein" 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
