Anti-CPEB4 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

Cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 4 (CPEB4) is a sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that participates in translational control. CPEB4 is a member of the CPEB family, which includes CPEB1, CPEB2, CPEB3, and CPEB4, all of which share structure and sequence identity in the C-terminal RNA-binding domain (RBD) . CPEB4 has two domains: one that is structured for RNA binding and one that is unstructured and low complexity that has no known function.

Shows activity both for tyrosine-protein phosphate and serine-protein phosphate, but displays a strong preference toward phosphotyrosines. Specifically dephosphorylates and inactivates ERK1 and ERK2.
