Quick Overview for EIF2AK2 antibody (pThr451) (ABIN362373)

Target: EIF2AK2 (Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2-alpha Kinase 2 (EIF2AK2))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This EIF2AK2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

Product Details anti-EIF2AK2 Antibody

Binding Specificity: pThr451

Specificity: The antibody detects endogenous level of PKR only when phosphorylated at threonine 451.

Purification: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.

Immunogen: Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of pThr451 (K-G-T (p) -L-R) derived from Human PKR. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates.

Isotype: IgG

Target Details for EIF2AK2

Target: EIF2AK2 (Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2-alpha Kinase 2 (EIF2AK2))

Alternative Name: PKR

Background: Following activation by double-stranded RNA in the presence of ATP, the kinase becomes autophosphorylated and can catalyze the phosphorylation of the translation initiation factor EIF2S1, which leads to an inhibition of the initiation of protein synthesis. Double-stranded RNA is generated during the course of a viral infection.
