IF2M Polyclonal Antibody

MTIF2 (Mitochondrial Translational Initiation Factor 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Mitochondrial translation and Organelle biogenesis and maintenance. During the initiation of protein biosynthesis, initiation factor-2 (IF-2) promotes the binding of the initiator tRNA to the small subunit of the ribosome in a GTP-dependent manner. Prokaryotic IF-2 is a single polypeptide, while eukaryotic cytoplasmic IF-2 (eIF-2) is a trimeric protein. Bovine liver mitochondria contain IF-2 (mt), an 85-kD monomeric protein that is equivalent to prokaryotic IF-2. The predicted 727-amino acid human protein contains a 29-amino acid presequence. Human IF-2 (mt) shares 32 to 38% amino acid sequence identity with yeast IF-2 (mt) and several prokaryotic IF-2s, with the greatest degree of conservation in the G domains of the proteins.
