General description

EIF4E2 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E type 2) is ubiquitously expressed. It is also referred to as 4EHP (eIF4E homologous protein).

Immunogen

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E type 2 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

EIF4E2 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E type 2) is an mRNA 5′ cap-binding protein which is crucial for fine-tuning of translation. Under hypoxia conditions, cells shift from eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) to eIF4E2 cap-associated translation. Cancer cells use eIF4E2-mediated synthesis of hypoxia response proteins for tumor progression.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Human tumors display considerable diversity in their genetic makeup but share common physiologic attributes such as a hypoxic microenvironment that contribute to the malignant phenotype. Hypoxic cells switch from eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) to eIF4E2 cap-dependent translation to synthesize

In addition to the canonical eIF4E cap-binding protein, eukaryotes have evolved sequence-related variants with distinct features, some of which have been shown to negatively regulate translation of particular mRNAs, but which remain poorly characterised. Mammalian eIF4E proteins have been divided

All eukaryotic cellular mRNAs contain a 5' m(7)GpppN cap. In addition to conferring stability to the mRNA, the cap is required for pre-mRNA splicing, nuclear export and translation by providing an anchor point for protein binding. In translation, the interaction
