Anti-eEF2K (Ser-500), Phosphospecific Antibody
PhosphoSolutions
DETAILS
- Form: Antigen Affinity Purified
- Gene: EEF2K
- Host: Rabbit
- Rrid: AB_3068432
- Type: Primary Antibody
- Buffer: PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol
- Target: eEF2K (Ser-500)
- Isotype: IgG
- Storage: Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.
- Shipping: Blue Ice
- Synonyms: eEF-2, eEF-2K, CaMK-III, eukaryotic elongation factor
- Clonality: Rabbit Polyclonal
- Immunogen: Phospho-eEF2K (Ser-500) synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) corresponds to amino acids surrounding Ser-500 in human eEF2K. This sequence is well conserved in rat and mouse eEF2K, and has low homology to other proteins.
- Expiration: After date of receipt, stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.
- Specificity: 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.

- Target Description: Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) catalyzes the translocation of peptidyl-tRNA from the A site to the P site on the ribosome. eEF2 kinase (eEF2K) phosphorylates and inactivates eEF2, resulting in the inhibition of peptide-chain elongation. eEF2K is normally dependent on Ca2+ ions and calmodulin, and can be activated by PKA in response to elevated cAMP levels during cell stress- or starvation-related conditions. Regulation of eEF2K occurs through phosphorylation at multiple sites. Ser-78 phosphorylation is required for calmodulin binding and eEF2K activity, while phosphorylation of Ser-500 is required for Ca2+/calmodulin-independent kinase activity. Thr-348 is an autophosphorylation site that is required for kinase activity. Inhibitory phosphorylation may also regulate eEF2K, since phosphorylation at Ser-359 by SAPK4/p38δ causes inactivation of eEF2K. Thus, multisite phospho-regulation of eEF2K may be important for proper control of eEF2K activity and protein translation.
