Acetyl eIF5A/eIF5A2 (K47) rabbit pAb - 50 μL

Function: The precise role of eIF-5A in protein biosynthesis is not known but it functions by promoting the formation of the first peptide bond. PTM: eIF-5A seems to be the only eukaryotic protein to have an hypusine residue which is a post-translational modification of a lysine by the addition of a butylamino group (from spermidine). similarity: Belongs to the eIF-5A family. tissue specificity: Expressed in ovarian and colorectal cancer cell lines (at protein level). Highly expressed in testis. Overexpressed in some cancer cells.
