Quick Overview for EIF2A antibody (pSer51) (ABIN362356)

Target: EIF2A (Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2A, 65kDa (EIF2A))

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This EIF2A antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF)

Product Details anti-EIF2A Antibody

Binding Specificity: pSer51

Specificity: The antibody detects endogenous level of eIF2a only when phosphorylated at serine 51.

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

Immunogen: Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of pSer51 (E-L-S (p) -R-R) derived from Human eIF2a. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates.

Isotype: IgG

Target Details for EIF2A

Target: EIF2A (Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2A, 65kDa (EIF2A))

Alternative Name: eIF2alpha

Background: Functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA. This complex binds to a 40S ribosomal subunit, followed by mRNA binding to form a 43S preinitiation complex. Junction of the 60S ribosomal subunit to form the 80S initiation complex is preceded by hydrolysis of the GTP bound to eIF-2 and release of an eIF-2-GDP binary complex. In order for eIF-2 to recycle and catalyze another round of initiation, the GDP bound to eIF-2 must exchange with GTP by way of a reaction catalyzed by eIF-2B.
