4E-BP1 (also known as PHAS-1) normally binds eIF4E, inhibiting cap-dependent translation. Hyperphosphorylation of 4E-BP1 disrupts this binding, activating cap-dependent translation (1). The PI3 kinase/Akt pathway and FRAP/mTOR kinase regulate 4E-BP1 (2,3). 4E-BP1 is phosphorylated in vivo on multiple residues (4); phosphorylation by FRAP/mTOR on Thr37 and Thr46 of human 4E-BP1 may prime it for subsequent phosphorylation at sites including Ser65 and Thr70 (5).
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blotting. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:1000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
