Vendor description (summary): Boster Bio Anti-EIF5 Antibody Picoband® catalog # A04623-2.
Biological background
Biological context: Responsible for the deiodination of T4 (3,5,3',5'-tetraiodothyronine) into T3 (3,5,3'-triiodothyronine) and of T3 into T2 (3,3'-diiodothyronine). Plays a role in providing a source of plasma T3 by deiodination of T4 in peripheral tissues such as liver and kidney.
Expression and localization notes: cellular localization: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Single-pass membrane protein., tissue context: Widely expressed in adult (at protein level) and fetal tissues..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare EIF5 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of EIF5 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify EIF5-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Background: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF5 gene. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor-5 (EIF5) interacts with the 40S initiation complex to promote hydrolysis of bound GTP with concomitant joining of the 60S ribosomal subunit to the 40S initiation complex. The resulting functional 80S ribosomal initiation complex is then active in peptidyl transfer and chain elongations.
- Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Cellular localization: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Single-pass membrane protein.
- Tissue details: Widely expressed in adult (at protein level) and fetal tissues.
- Research category: Cancer,Oncoproteins/Suppressors,Tumor Suppressors
