Reported biological context includes: Recognizes and binds the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap during an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis and facilitates ribosome binding by inducing the unwinding of the mRNAs secondary structures. Component of the CYFIP1-EIF4E-FMR1 complex which binds to the mRNA cap and mediates translational repression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSpatial and single-cell approaches: imaging-based and cytometry workflows increasingly quantify heterogeneity and relocalization rather than only bulk abundance.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eInteraction-centric biology: IP-based enrichment and proteomics are widely used to define complexes, binding partners, and context-specific interactomes.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWestern blot (WB): compare relative abundance\/isoform patterns across conditions and sample types; band shifts may reflect processing or post-translational modification.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcross these readouts, differences in signal intensity, localization, or complex enrichment are typically interpreted alongside sample-matched controls and independent evidence to distinguish regulation from technical variation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIsoforms, cleavage products, or post-translational modifications can alter apparent molecular weight and subcellular distribution; interpret bands and staining patterns in the context of expected biology and sample preparation.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and epitope conservation may affect binding; use matched positive controls and orthogonal evidence when comparing across organisms.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eControl concepts: include appropriate isotype and secondary-only controls (for imaging), and consider genetic perturbations (knockout\/knockdown\/overexpression) or independent antibodies targeting distinct epitopes to strengthen conclusions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpitope context is defined by the immunogen description; when available, align this with known domains, PTM sites, or family homology to anticipate potential cross-reactivity patterns. As a monoclonal antibody, binding is driven by a single epitope, which can support consistent recognition but may be sensitive to epitope masking by PTMs or conformational changes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB entry (P06730) — UniProt Consortium — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/P06730\/entry - NCBI Gene search (EIF4E) — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=EIF4E - Ensembl search (EIF4E) — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=EIF4E - PubMed search (EIF4E) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=EIF4E - Reactome pathway search (EIF4E) — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/content\/query?q=EIF4E --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"In PBS with 50% glycerol and 0.03% ProClin 300 \/ 0.1 ml","offer_id":53043212484973,"sku":"F54054-0.1ML","price":439.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_fd1edfbe-f747-45ec-9a3d-4eeff1bfc329.jpg?v=1771934137","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/eif4e-antibody-bha17102656","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
