Recombinant D. melanogaster Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E(eIF-4E)

Species	Drosophila melanogaster
Target Names	eIF-4E
Alternative Names	eIF4E1; eIF-4E; Eif4e; CG4035; eIF-4F 25 kDa subunit; mRNA cap-binding protein
Expression Region	1-259
Subcellular Location	Cytoplasm, Cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule.
Protein Families	Eukaryotic initiation factor 4E family
Function	Recognizes and binds the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap during an early step in the initiation of protein synthesis and facilitates ribosome binding by inducing the unwinding of the mRNAs secondary structures. In 0-1 hour embryos, forms a complex with me31B, cup, tral and pAbp which binds to various mRNAs including maternal mRNAs, and downregulates their expression during the maternal-to-zygotic transition.

Reconstitution	We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
Lead Time	Delivery time may differ from different purchasing ways or locations, please kindly consult us for specific delivery times.

Storage Condition	Store at -20 °C/-80 °C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for multiple use.
Shelf Life	The shelf life is related to many factors, including storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature, and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C.
Handling	Repeated freezing and thawing are not recommended.
Limitations	This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week.
