eIF2Bε Antibody (B-7) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 kappa light chain antibody that detects eIF2B epsilon protein of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). eIF2Bε Antibody (B-7) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. eIF2B epsilon protein plays a crucial role in regulating protein synthesis initiation in eukaryotic cells, functioning as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that facilitates GDP for GTP exchange on eIF2 complex. This process is vital for forming eukaryotic initiation complex, which is essential for recruiting ribosomal subunit and subsequent translation of mRNA into proteins. eIF2B complex is composed of five subunits: eIF2Bα, eIF2Bβ, eIF2Bγ, eIF2Bδ, and eIF2Bε, with eIF2Bε exhibiting GEF activity that is significantly enhanced in presence of entire complex. Notably, eIF2 phosphorylation can inhibit GEF activity of eIF2B, a process dependent on eIF2Bα subunit, highlighting intricate regulatory mechanisms that control protein synthesis and potential implications for cellular stress responses.
