This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-82551. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
EIF2AK1 (HRI) is one of 4 kinases that specifically phosphorylate Ser51 of translation initiation factor eIF2-alpha in response to various environmental stresses, leading to a decrease in protein sythesis. In the case of EIF2AK1, signaling is initiated by low levels of heme. The HRI gene is localized to 7p22 where its 3' end slightly overlaps the 3' end of the gene JTV1. The two genes are transcribed from opposite strands and kinase activity is induced by low levels of heme and inhibited by the presence of heme.
