EIF4E Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-eIF4E Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E encoded by EIF4E is a component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F complex, which recognizes the 7-methylguanosine cap structure at the 5' end of messenger RNAs. The encoded protein aids in translation initiation by recruiting ribosomes to the 5'-cap structure. Association of this protein with the 4F complex is the rate-limiting step in translation initiation. EIF4E acts as a proto-oncogene, and its expression and activation is associated with transformation and tumorigenesis. Several pseudogenes of EIF4E are found on other chromosomes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
