Active Recombinant Human EIF2AK4 Protein, GST-tagged

Specification :
| Description : This gene encodes a member of a family of kinases that phosphorylate the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2 (EIF2), resulting in the downregulaton of protein synthesis. The encoded protein responds to amino acid deprivation by binding uncharged transfer RNAs. It may also be activated by glucose deprivation and viral infection. Mutations in this gene have been found in individuals suffering from autosomal recessive pulmonary venoocclusive-disease-2.

The enzyme was incubated with GST-fused substrate protein and tRNA, and after stopping kinase reaction by EDTA, the reaction solution was transferred into glutathione-coated plate. Phosphorylation was detected by anti-phospho antibody and HRP-labeled anti-rabbit IgG. Substrate: EIF2S1. ATP: 100 μM. | Molecular Mass : 215 kDa | Purity : 90 % by SDS-PAGE/CBB staining | Applications : Functional StudySDS-PAGE | Storage : Store at -80 centigrade. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. | Storage Buffer : In 50 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5 (0.1% CHAPS, 1 mM DTT, 10% glycerol)
