Anti-Pdcd4 Ready-To-Use

RTU Anti-Pdcd4 affinity purified antibody is directed against human Pdcd4 protein. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography.  A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Pdcd4 from human, mouse, rat and Xenopus based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence.  Cross-reactivity with Pdcd4 from other sources has not been determined. The antibody reacts with Pdcd4 protein that is either phosphorylated or non-phosphorylated at Ser457. Protein function: Inhibits translation initiation and cap-dependent translation. May excert its function by hindering the interaction between EIF4A1 and EIF4G. Inhibits the helicase activity of EIF4A. Modulates the activation of JUN kinase. Down-regulates the expression of MAP4K1, thus inhibiting events important in driving invasion, namely, MAPK85 activation and consequent JUN-dependent transcription. May play a role in apoptosis. Tumor suppressor. Inhibits tumor promoter-induced neoplastic transformation. Binds RNA. [The UniProt Consortium]
