Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human eIF4B around the phosphorylation site of Ser422. AA range:388-437
Specificity
Phospho-eIF4B (S422) Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of eIF4B protein only when phosphorylated at S422.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. Immunohistochemistry: 1/100 - 1/300. Immunofluorescence: 1/200 - 1/1000. ELISA: 1/40000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
function: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.,similarity:Contains 1 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domain.,subunit:Self-associates and interacts with EIF3 p170 subunit.,
