The antibody detects endogenous level of total eIF4B protein.
Purification
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography usingepitope-specific immunogen.
Immunogen
Peptide sequence around AA 420-424 (T-G-S-E-S) derived from Human eIF4B. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptide and KLH conjugates.
Required for the binding of mRNA to ribosomes. Functions in close association with EIF4-F and EIF4-A. Binds near the 5'-terminal cap of mRNA in presence of EIF-4F and ATP. Promotes the ATPase activity and the ATP-dependent RNA unwinding activity of both EIF4-A and EIF4-F.
