Homo sapiens eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 (EEF2)
Synonyms:
EEF-2; EF-2; EF2
Immunogen
A synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr 56/58 of human eEF2 was used as immunogen. The antibody only detects eEF2 phosphorylated on Tyreonine 56/58.
Buffer
Store at -20C. Buffer: 50 mM Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4), 0.15 M NaCl, 40% Glycerol, 0.01% sodium azide and 0.05% BSA. Stable for 12 months from date of receipt.
The eukaryotic translation Elongation Factor 2 (eEF2) is a 95 kDa member of the G-protein superfamily. Following peptide bond formation, eEF2 catalyzes translocation of the deacylated tRNA in the P-site and peptidyl tRNA in the A-site into the E- and P- sites, respectively (1). The activity of eEF2 is regulated by phosphorylation (2). To be active, eEF2 must be dephosphorylated, and phosphorylation at Thr-56 causes inactivation, resulting in the termination of mRNA translation (3). eEF2 is phosphorylated by a specific, calcium and calmodulin (Ca/CaM)-dependent eEF2 kinase (4)
