Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized Acetyl-peptide derived from human EEF1A around the Acetylation site of Lys41. AA range:1-50
Specificity
Acetyl-EF-1 α1/2 (K41) Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of EF-1 α1/2 protein only when acetylated at K41.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. ELISA: 1/20000. 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
This gene encodes an isoform of the alpha subunit of the elongation factor-1 complex, which is responsible for the enzymatic delivery of aminoacyl tRNAs to the ribosome. This isoform (alpha 1) is expressed in brain, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas, and the other isoform (alpha 2) is expressed in brain, heart and skeletal muscle. This isoform is identified as an autoantigen in 66% of patients with Felty syndrome. This gene has been found to have multiple copies on many chromosomes, some of which, if not all, represent different pseudogenes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
caution:Could be the product of a pseudogene.,function:This protein promotes the GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site of ribosomes during protein biosynthesis.,similarity:Belongs to the GTP-binding elongation factor family. EF-Tu/EF-1A subfamily.,subunit:Found in a nuclear export complex with XPO5, EEF1A1, Ran and aminoacylated tRNA. Interacts with XPO5. May interact with ERGIC2.,tissue specificity:Brain, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas but barely detectable in heart and skeletal muscle.,

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm . Nucleus . Nucleus, nucleolus . Cell membrane . Colocalizes with DLC1 at actin-rich regions in the cell periphery (PubMed:19158340). Translocates together with ZPR1 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and nucleolus after treatment with mitogens (PubMed:8650580). Localization at the cell membrane depends on EEF1A1 phosphorylation status and the presence of PPP1R16B (PubMed:26497934). .
Tissue expression
Brain, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas but barely detectable in heart and skeletal muscle.
