Clone Names | 71213103 |
Gene ID | 1973 |

Other Names | Eukaryotic initiation factor 4A-I, eIF-4A-I, eIF4A-I, ATP-dependent RNA helicase eIF4A-1, EIF4A1, DDX2A, EIF4A |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP7262a was selected from the N-term region of human EIF4A1. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
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. 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. |
