Overview:
EIF2AK2 (also known as double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase) has been shown to be involved in HIV/gp120-associated neurodegeneration (1). EIF2AK2 acts as a critical mediator of gp120 neurotoxicity and is a substrate for a family of protein kinases that respond to various forms of environmental stress. Activation of EIF2AK2 leads to its autophosphorylation and then phosphorylation of its natural substrate, the alpha subunit of eukaryotic protein synthesis initiation factor-2. A novel cross-talk between the EIF2AKs and p53 has been shown that has implications in cell proliferation and tumorigenesis (2).

Specificity:
Recognizes the EIF2AK2 (PKR) protein
Cross Reactivity:
Western blot human EIF2AK2
EIF2AK2 from other species may also be detectable.
Host :
Rabbit
Immunogen:
Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 449-453 of human EIF2AK2
Purification:
Affinity Chromatography
Stability:
Store at 4oC (add 0.1% NaN3) for several months, and at -20oC for longer periods. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For optimal performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
