Anti-EIF4E2 Antibody

A polyclonal IgG antibody raised in rabbit against EIF4E2, the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E family member 2 (also known as 4EHP), supplied unconjugated in a 50 µl vial by Antibodies.com. This reagent detects EIF4E2 in western blot applications across human, mouse, and rat samples.

EIF4E2 functions as an mRNA cap-binding protein that regulates translation initiation and is distinguished from the canonical EIF4E by its preference for competitive binding partners, including the 4E-transporter protein. Researchers studying cap-dependent translation, stress granule biology, mRNA decay pathways, and translational control employ this antibody to probe whole-cell lysates.

The unconjugated IgG isotype and affinity-purified format make it compatible with downstream detection using secondary reagents of choice, including HRP-, Alexa Fluor-, or alkaline phosphatase-conjugated anti-rabbit antibodies. Aliquot upon receipt to limit freeze-thaw cycles and protect from light when working with diluted solutions.
