Anti-EIF4G1 Antibody Picoband®, PE Conjugate

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF4G1 gene. It is mapped to 3q27.1. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the multi-subunit protein complex EIF4F. This complex facilitates the recruitment of mRNA to the ribosome, which is a rate-limiting step during the initiation phase of protein synthesis. The recognition of the mRNA cap and the ATP-dependent unwinding of 5'-terminal secondary structure is catalyzed by factors in this complex. The subunit encoded by this gene is a large scaffolding protein that contains binding sites for other members of the EIF4F complex. A domain at its N-terminus can also interact with the poly (A)-binding protein, which may mediate the circularization of mRNA during translation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, some of which are derived from alternative promoter usage.

Expressed abundantly in the bone marrow. Expressed exclusively by eosinophils and basophils. Not detected in monocytes and neutrophils. Expressed in CD25-positive regulatory T-cells (Treg) (at protein level). Found in intestinal tissue from patients with Celiac disease, expression is ly related to the histological grade of mucosal damage and to the number of eosinophils found in the duodenal lesion (at protein level). Found in sputum of patients with eosinophilic inflammatory diseases such as asthma (at protein level).

Component of the protein complex eIF4F, which is involved in the recognition of the mRNA cap, ATP-dependent unwinding of 5'-terminal secondary structure and recruitment of mRNA to the ribosome.
