Description

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

The antibody detects a 105 kDa* protein corresponding to the molecular mass of eEF2K on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of human recombinant eEF2K autophosphorylated in the presence of Ca2+ and Calmodulin. This reactivity is removed after lambda phosphatase treatment. In addition, the antibody detects eEF2K after calyculin A treatment of mouse C2C12 cells, but not in control cells.

EEF2K is a highly conserved Serine/Threoning kinase in the calmodulin signaling pathway whose activity is increased in cancers including breast cancer. EEF2K (eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase) is a threonine kinase that regulates protein synthesis by controlling the rate of peptide chain elongation. Up activation, by a variety of upstream kinases including AMPK or TRPM7, EEF2K phosphorylates the elongation factor EEF2 at a single site. Then, EEF2K renders EEF2 unable to bind ribosomes and inactive - in turn, the rate of protein synthesis is reduced.
