Anti-Zebrafish Eif3a / Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit A

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit A (eIF3a) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF3A gene. Enables RNA binding activity. Contributes to translation initiation factor activity. Involved in IRES-dependent viral translational initiation, formation of cytoplasmic translation initiation complex, and viral translational termination-reinitiation. Located in cytosol, nucleolus, and nucleoplasm. Part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 complex. Protein function: RNA-binding component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which is involved in protein synthesis of a specialized repertoire of mRNAs and, together with other initiation factors, stimulates binding of mRNA and methionyl-tRNAi to the 40S ribosome. The eIF-3 complex specifically targets and initiates translation of a subset of mRNAs involved in cell proliferation. [The UniProt Consortium]
