EIF4ENIF1 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E nuclear import factor 1) is a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein mainly associated with the cell growth control. It has an eIF4E (eukaryotic initiation factor 4E)-binding site, one bipartite nuclear localization signal and two leucine-rich nuclear export signals. It is localized to the nucleus of mammalian cells and is also concentrated in the processing bodies (P-bodies) i.e. mRNA decay site.
Synonyms: Anti-4E-T antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E nuclear import factor 1 antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E transporter antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-eIF4E transporter antibody produced in rabbit

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: The nucleocytoplasmic transport of EIF4ENIF1 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E nuclear import factor 1) via nuclear pore complex (NPC) is dependent on various nuclear localization signals (NLSs), nuclear export signals (NESs). It mediates the nuclear import of eIF4E (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E). During the import it interacts with the importin aß pathway in piggy-back mechanism manner. It controls the maturation of mRNA and mRNA half-life. Mutation in the gene causes Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), a premature ovarian failure.
