Product Introduction: EIF4EBP2 belongs to the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein family. Even though EIF4EBP2 protein binds eIF4E and inhibits translation initiation, insulin and other growth factors can release this inhibition by a phosphorylation-dependent disruption. EIF4EBP2 mediates the regulation of protein translation by hormones, growth factors and other stimuli that signal through the MAP kinase pathway. Regulation of this protein is associated to cell proliferation, cell differentiation and viral infection.
Product Description: EIF4EBP2 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 140amino acids (1-120a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 15.1 kDa. EIF4EBP2 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
