Anti-EIF4A1, clone 3F11

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Eukaryotic initiation factor 4A-I is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF4A1 gene. It is mapped to 17p13.1. EIF4A1 has been shown to interact with EIF4E and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4 gamma. Protein function: ATP-dependent RNA helicase which is a subunit of the eIF4F complex involved in cap recognition and is required for mRNA binding to ribosome. In the current model of translation initiation, eIF4A unwinds RNA secondary structures in the 5'-UTR of mRNAs which is necessary to allow efficient binding of the small ribosomal subunit, and subsequent scanning for the initiator codon.
