Human eIF4E (pS209) Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free is a kit containing recombinant capture and detector antibodies in a carrier-free formulation for the measurement of Human eIF4E (pS209).
Both capture and detector antibodies are recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies delivering consistent, specific, and sensitive results.
The Antibody Pair can be used to quantify Human eIF4E (pS209). BSA and Azide free antibody pairs include unconjugated capture and detector antibodies suitable for sandwich ELISAs. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
For additional information on the performance of the antibody pair, see the equivalent SimpleStep ELISA® Kit (Human eIF4E ELISA Kit (pS209) ab277087), which uses the same antibodies. However, due to differences in their formulation, this antibody pair cannot be used with the consumables provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kits. Please note that the range provided for the pairs is only an estimation based on the performance of the related product using the same antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody pair in your assay.

The eIF4E protein also known as the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E functions mainly in the initiation phase of mRNA translation. It plays a role by binding to the 7-methylguanylate cap structure at the 5’ end of mRNA facilitating ribosome assembly on mRNA. The molecular weight of eIF4E is approximately 25 kDa and it is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues across eukaryotic organisms. Additionally phosphorylation of eIF4E affects its activity and is an important post-translational modification.
EIF4E regulates gene expression at the translational level and is a part of the eIF4F complex which also includes eIF4A and eIF4G. This complex is essential for the recruitment of ribosomes to the mRNA impacting the rate of protein synthesis. Changes in eIF4E levels can alter the translational efficiency of specific mRNAs thereby influencing cellular growth and proliferation.
EIF4E directly involves in the mTOR signaling pathway which regulates cell growth proliferation and survival. Within this pathway eIF4E interacts with proteins such as 4EBP1 which binds to eIF4E and inhibits its function in the absence of phosphorylation by mTOR. This interaction illustrates the control mechanism of protein synthesis under different cellular conditions connecting it to various signaling cascades.
EIF4E has been linked to cancer and neurodegenerative conditions. In cancer overexpression of eIF4E leads to increased translation of oncogenes facilitating tumorigenesis. The mTOR pathway proteins like mTOR and 4EBP1 are often dysregulated in these cases. Conversely its role in neurological disorders involves the aberrant regulation of synaptic proteins like PSD95 impacting neuronal communication and function.
