General description

Translation initiation factor eIF-2B subunit beta eIF2B β is a component of the regulatory subcomplex of eIF2B along with the eIF2Bα and -δ subunits. eIF2Bβ gene is mapped to human chromosome 14q24.3.

Application

Anti-eIF2Bβ (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for the following applications:

Immunoprecipitation at a concentration of 3-5μg using K562 cell lysates
Indirect immunofluorescence (at a concentration of 2-5μg/mL using paraformaldehyde-fixed NIH-3T3 cells over-expressing human eIF2Bβ)
Western blotting at a concentration of 2-4μg/mL using K562 or AT3B1 cell lysates

Biochem/physiol Actions

Anti-eIF2BNβ-terminal) specifically recognizes human, mouse, and rat eIF2Bβ.

Recent studies have linked inherited mutations in any of the five eIF2B subunits to a fatal human disorder known as childhood ataxia with central nervous system hypomyelination (CACH) or vanishing white matter (VWN) disease. The eIF2B -α, -β and - δ subunits downregulate eIF2B activity in response to the phosphorylation of eIF2 on Ser51.

Translation initiation factor eIF-2B subunit β is a protein encoded by EIF2B2 gene in humans. It is a five-subunit complex that catalyzes guanine nucleotide exchange on eIF2. It is associated with the cause of autosomal recessive disorders. Autosomal recessive inherited mutations in each of the five eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (eIF2B) subunits are known to cause white matter abnormalities called eIF2B-related disorders.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Preparation Note

For continuous use, store at 2–8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.

An autopsy case of infantile-onset vanishing white matter disease related to an EIF2B2 mutation (V85E) in a hemizygous region.

Yukiko Hata et al.

International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 7(6), 3355-3362 (2014-07-18)

We report a rare autopsy case of early infantile-onset vanishing white matter disease, with a submicroscopic deletion of 14q24.3, which included EIF2B2 and a missense mutation of EIF2B2 (V85E) of the remaining allele. The patient was a 4-year-old boy, who

eIF2B (eukaryotic initiation factor 2B) is a multisubunit protein that is required for protein synthesis initiation and its regulation in all eukaryotic cells. Mutations in eIF2B have also recently been found to cause a fatal human disease called CACH (childhood

Identification of a regulatory subcomplex in the guanine nucleotide exchange factor eIF2B that mediates inhibition by phosphorylated eIF2.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (eIF2B) is a five-subunit complex that catalyzes guanine nucleotide exchange on eIF2. Phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eIF2 [creating eIF2(alphaP]) converts eIF2 x GDP from a substrate to an inhibitor of eIF2B. We showed
