IHC-P 1/50 - 1/100. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval.
ICC/IF 1/100.

Application notes

Function

Functions in the early steps of protein synthesis of a small number of specific mRNAs. Acts by directing the binding of methionyl-tRNAi to 40S ribosomal subunits. In contrast to the eIF-2 complex, it binds methionyl-tRNAi to 40 S subunits in a codon-dependent manner, whereas the eIF-2 complex binds methionyl-tRNAi to 40 S subunits in a GTP-dependent manner. May act by impiging the expression of specific proteins.
Tissue specificity

Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in pancreas, heart, brain and placenta.
Sequence similarities

Belongs to the WD repeat EIF2A family.
Contains 3 WD repeats.

Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab169528 observed at 65 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 37 kDa.

ab169528 was shown to specifically react with eIF2A when eIF2A knockout samples were used. Wild-type and eIF2A knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab169528 and ab8245 (loading control to GAPDH) were diluted at 1/1000 and 1/10 000 respectively and incubated overnight at 4°C. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1/10 000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature before imaging.
