Anti-EIF2A

In 1X PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.09% sodium azide. EIF2A functions in the early steps of protein synthesis of a small number of specific mRNAs. Acts by directing the binding of methionyl-tRNAi to 40S ribosomal subunits. In contrast to the eIF-2 complex, it binds methionyl-tRNAi to 40 S subunits in a codon-dependent manner, whereas the eIF-2 complex binds methionyl-tRNAi to 40 S subunits in a GTP-dependent manner. May act by impiging the expression of specific proteins. [UniProt] Protein function: Functions in the early steps of protein synthesis of a small number of specific mRNAs.
