Related Product Information for anti-ARALYDRAFT_908460 antibody
Phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 is a well documented mechanism of downregulating protein synthesis under a variety of stress conditions. Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 binds GTP and Met-tRNAi and transfers the Met-tRNA to the 40S subunit to form the 43S preinitiation complex. For eIF2 to promote a new round of translation initiation, GDP must be exchanged for GTP, a reaction catalyzed by eIF2B. Kinases activated by viral infection (PKR), endoplasmic reticulum stress (PERK/PEK), amino acid deprivation (GCN2) and hemin deficiency (HRI) can phosphorylate the alpha subunit of eIF2 (5,6). This phosphorylation stabilizes the eIF2- GDP-eIF2B complex inhibiting the turnover of eIF2B. Induction of PKR by IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha, or stress provoked by depletion of endoplasmic reticulum calcium levels, induces potent phosphorylation of eIF2alpha at Ser51 (7,8).

Product Notes

The ARALYDRAFT_908460 (Catalog #AAA645822) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Protein Synthesis Initiation Factor 2 alpha, phosphorylated (Ser51) (eIF 2a, Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor) reacts with Drosophila, Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Protein Synthesis Initiation Factor 2 alpha can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EL/EIA), Western Blot (WB). Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ARALYDRAFT_908460 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 "Protein Synthesis Initiation Factor 2 alpha, 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.
