ATP-dependent RNA helicase which is a subunit of the eIF4F complex involved in cap recognition and is required for mRNA binding to ribosome. In the current model of translation initiation, eIF4A unwinds RNA secondary structures in the 5'-UTR of mRNAs which is necessary to allow efficient binding of the small ribosomal subunit, and subsequent scanning for the initiator codon.

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.
The eIF4A2 also known as DDX2B functions as an RNA helicase with an ATP-dependent mechanism. It unwinds RNA secondary structures in the 5'UTR of mRNAs to facilitate ribosome binding. eIF4A2 belongs to the DEAD-box family of proteins and it has a molecular mass of approximately 46 kDa. It is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues indicating its broad role in cellular processes.
EIF4A2 is integral to the initiation of protein synthesis. It acts as a core member of the eIF4F complex along with the cap-binding protein eIF4E and scaffold protein eIF4G. This complex enables the recruitment of ribosomes to mRNA an important step in translation initiation. eIF4A2 helps regulate the translation of specific mRNAs that are important for cell growth and proliferation affecting how cells respond to environmental stimuli.
EIF4A2 plays a significant role in the mTOR and MAPK signaling pathways. In the mTOR pathway eIF4A2 controls the translation of mRNAs that drive cell growth and metabolism. It also interacts with other proteins such as mTORC1 and S6K which modulate these processes. Its involvement in the MAPK pathway links it with cell survival and stress responses emphasizing its interaction with proteins like MEK1/2 and ERK1/2 that further propagate these signals.
EIF4A2 has implications in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. eIF4A2's overexpression has been associated with various cancers whereby it encourages oncogenic transformation through its role in synthesis of growth-related proteins. Moreover the helicase has links to Alzheimer's disease where it may influence disease progression by modulating synaptic plasticity proteins such as APP and tau important for neuronal function. The regulation by eIF4A2 of these proteins highlights its potential as a therapeutic target.

In Western blot, ab307728 was shown to bind specifically to EIF4A2. A band was observed at 48 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in EIF4A2 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and EIF4A2 knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.
