Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects eIF5-mimic protein 1 (gene BZW2) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 48.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 48 kDa.
BZW2, also called eIF5-mimic protein 1 (5MP1), is a translation initiation regulator that competes with eIF5 during start-codon selection. By limiting eIF5 function, it improves the fidelity of initiation and suppresses translation that starts at non-AUG codons, including repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation, making it of interest in studies of protein synthesis control and repeat-expansion disorders.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |

| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human K562 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human appendiceal adenocarcinoma tissue, human gastric adenocarcinoma tissue, human placenta tissue, mouse colon tissue, rat colon tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): THP-1 cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human BZW2 fragment (Glu21–Ala292), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places eIF5-mimic protein 1 in the cytoplasm. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
