EIF4E Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. EIF4E Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 237 amino acids (1-217 a.a.) and having a molecular weight of 27.2kDa. The EIF4E is fused to a 20 aa His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. EIF4E is part of the eukaryotic initiation factor 4 families, controls translation of maternal mRNAs in early embryos before the onset of zygotic transcription. EIF4E identifies and binds to the 7 methyl GTP cap structure of eukaryotic mRNAs, thus modulates the initiation of translation. EIF4E enables ribosome binding by inducing the unwinding of the mRNAs secondary structures.
