Dilution | WB~~WB: 1:1000-3000 IF: 1:100-200 IHC 1:50-300 |
Format | PBS, pH 7.4, containing 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide as Preservative and 50% Glycerol. |
Storage Conditions | -20℃ |
Name | EIF4A1 |
---|---|
Synonyms | DDX2A, EIF4A |
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 (PubMed:20156963). 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. As a result, promotes cell proliferation and growth (PubMed:20156963). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cell membrane. Cytoplasm, Stress granule. Note=Colocalizes with PKP1 in stress granules following arsenate or hydrogen peroxide treatment |
