Application Data:
GCN2 Antibody (Center F1116)

Western blot analysis of GCN2 (arrow) using GCN2 Antibody (Center F1116) (Cat.#AP8062a). 293 cell lysates (2 ug/lane) either nontransfected (Lane 1) or transiently transfected with the GCN2 gene (Lane 2) (Origene Technologies).

GCN2 Antibody (Center F1116)

Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human cancer tissue reacted with the primary antibody, which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated. BC = breast carcinoma; HC = hepatocarcinoma.

Background:
EIF2AK4 belongs to a family of kinases that phosphorylate the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2 (EIF2S1; MIM 603907) to downregulate protein synthesis in response to varied cellular stresses (Berlanga et al., 1999 [PubMed 10504407]).[supplied by OMIM]
