EIF2B4 blocking peptide
EIF2B4 Blocking Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), which is necessary for protein synthesis, is a GTP exchange factor composed of five different subunits. The protein encoded by this gene is the fourth, or delta, subunit. Defects in this gene are a cause of leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM) and ovarioleukodystrophy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
eIF2B-delta: Catalyzes the exchange of eukaryotic initiation factor 2-bound GDP for GTP. Defects in EIF2B4 are a cause of leukodystrophy with vanishing white matter (VWM). VWM is a leukodystrophy that occurs mainly in children. Neurological signs include progressive cerebellar ataxia, spasticity, inconstant optic atrophy and relatively preserved mental abilities. The disease is chronic-progressive with, in most individuals, additional episodes of rapid deterioration following febrile infections or minor head trauma. While childhood onset is the most common form of the disorder, some severe forms are apparent at birth. A severe, early-onset form seen among the Cree and Chippewayan populations of Quebec and Manitoba is called Cree leukoencephalopathy. Milder forms may not become evident until adolescence or adulthood. Some females with milder forms of the disease who survive to adolescence exhibit ovarian dysfunction. This variant of the disorder is called ovarioleukodystrophy. Belongs to the eIF-2B alpha/beta/delta subunits family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The EIF2B4 eif2b4 (Catalog #AAA8244423) is a Blocking Peptide produced from Synthetic and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The EIF2B4 Blocking Peptide reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat, Bovine, Rabbit and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's EIF2B4 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Blocking (BL). Blocking Peptide to the diluted primary antibody in a molar ratio of 10:1 (peptide to antibody) and incubate the mixture at 4 degree C for overnight or at room temperature for 2 hours. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the EIF2B4 eif2b4 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 "EIF2B4, Blocking Peptide" 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
