Description
Anti-Phospho-eIF2alpha-S51 Antibody (CABP0745)
The Phospho-eIF2alpha (S51) Polyclonal Antibody (CABP0745) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the phosphorylation of eIF2alpha at serine 51, a key regulatory event in protein synthesis and cellular stress response. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high specificity for human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications.eIF2alpha phosphorylation at serine 51 is known to play a crucial role in regulating translation initiation in response to various stress signals, including viral infection, nutrient deprivation, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Dysregulation of this pathway has been implicated in a wide range of diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndromes.
By targeting the phosphorylated form of eIF2alpha, researchers can investigate the impact of stress-induced translational control on cell survival, metabolism, and disease progression. This antibody provides a reliable tool for detecting and quantifying phospho-eIF2alpha (S51) levels in cell lysates, making it an essential component of studies focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying stress response pathways and their implications for human health.

Background: | The translation initiation factor EIF2 catalyzes the first regulated step of protein synthesis initiation, promoting the binding of the initiator tRNA to 40S ribosomal subunits. Binding occurs as a ternary complex of methionyl-tRNA, EIF2, and GTP. EIF2 is composed of 3 nonidentical subunits, the 36-kD EIF2-alpha subunit (EIF2S1), the 38-kD EIF2-beta subunit (EIF2S2; MIM 603908), and the 52-kD EIF2-gamma subunit (EIF2S3; MIM 300161). The rate of formation of the ternary complex is modulated by the phosphorylation state of EIF2-alpha (Ernst et al., 1987 [PubMed 2948954]).[supplied by OMIM, Feb 2010] |
UniProt Protein Function: | eIF2-alpha: a translation initiation factor that functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA. This complex binds to a 40s ribosomal subunit, followed by mRNA binding to form a 43S preinitiation complex. Junction of the 60S ribosomal subunit to form the 80S initiation complex is preceded by hydrolysis of the GTP bound to eIF-2 and release of an eIF-2-GDP binary complex. In order for eIF-2 to recycle and catalyze another round of initiation, the GDP bound to eIF-2 must exchange with GTP by way of a reaction catalyzed by eIF-2B. Phosphorylated by at least 4 kinases: PERK, GCN2, HRI and PKR. Phosphorylation stabilizes the eIF-2/GDP/eIF-2B complex and prevents GDP/GTP exchange reaction, thus impairing the recycling of eIF-2 between successive rounds of initiation and leading to global inhibition of translation. Upregulated in some thyroid cancers and bronchiolo-alveolar adenocarcinomas; aberrant phosphorylation correlates with Alzheimer disease and Epstein-Barr virus infections. |
