Western blot analysis of EIF4EBP1 (arrow) using rabbit EIF4EBP1 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB3952). 293 cell lysates (2 ug/lane) either nontransfected (Lane 1) or transiently transfected with the EIF4EBP1 gene (Lane 2) (Origene Technologies).
Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human colon carcinoma tissue reacted with EIF4EBP1 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB3952) , which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated.
This gene encodes one member of a family of translation repressor proteins. The protein directly interacts with eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), which is a limiting component of the multisubunit complex that recruits 40S ribosomal subunits to the 5' end of mRNAs. Interaction of this protein with eIF4E inhibits complex assembly and represses translation. This protein is phosphorylated in response to various signals including UV irradiation and insulin signaling, resulting in its dissociation from eIF4E and activation of mRNA translation.
