Anti-Phospho-EEF2K-Ser-78 antibody (STJA0005389)
SPECIFICATIONS
ClonalityPolyclonal
HostRabbit
ConjugationUnconjugated
IsotypeIgG
ImmunogenPhospho-eEF2K (Ser-78) synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) corresponds to amino acids surrounding Ser-78 in human eEF2K. This sequence is well conserved in rat and mouse eEF2K, and has low homology to other proteins.

| Immunogen | Phospho-eEF2K (Ser-78) synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) corresponds to amino acids surrounding Ser-78 in human eEF2K. This sequence is well conserved in rat and mouse eEF2K, and has low homology to other proteins. |
| Specificity | This antibody detects a 105 kDa* protein corresponding to the molecular mass of eEF2K on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of mouse C2C12 and Jurkat cells treated with Calyculin A, and this reactivity is removed after lambda phosphatase treatment. |
Additional Info
| Post Translational Modifications | Autophosphorylated at multiple residues, Thr-348 being the major site. Phosphorylated by AMP-activated protein kinase AMPK at Ser-398 leading to EEF2K activation and protein synthesis inhibition. Phosphorylated by TRPM7 at Ser-78 resulting in improved protein stability, higher EE2F phosphorylated and subsequently reduced rate of protein synthesis. Phosphorylation by other kinases such as CDK1 and MAPK13 at Ser-359 or RPS6KA1 and RPS6KB1 at Ser-366 instead decrease EEF2K activity and promote protein synthesis. |
| Function | Threonine kinase that regulates protein synthesis by controlling the rate of peptide chain elongation. Upon activation by a variety of upstream kinases including AMPK or TRPM7, phosphorylates the elongation factor EEF2 at a single site, renders it unable to bind ribosomes and thus inactive. In turn, the rate of protein synthesis is reduced. |
