Anti-EIF5A

Polyclonal Antibody against Human EIF5A, Gene description: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A, Alternative Gene Names: EIF-5A, EIF5A1, MGC104255, MGC99547, Validated applications: ICC, Uniprot ID: P63241, Storage: Store at +4°C for short term storage. Long time storage is recommended at -20°C. Protein function: mRNA-binding protein involved in translation elongation. Has an important function at the level of mRNA turnover, probably acting downstream of decapping. Involved in actin dynamics and cell cycle progression, mRNA decay and probably in a pathway involved in stress response and maintenance of cell wall integrity. With syntenin SDCBP, functions as a regulator of p53/TP53 and p53/TP53-dependent apoptosis. Regulates also TNF-alpha-mediated apoptosis. Mediates effects of polyamines on neuronal process extension and survival. May play an important role in brain development and function, and in skeletal muscle stem cell differentiation. Also described as a cellular cofactor of human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) Rex protein and of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Rev protein, essential for mRNA export of retroviral transcripts.
