Introduction
EIF5A2 is part of the eukaryotic initiation factor 5A subfamily, is an vital protein strongly linked to cellular polyamine homeostasis. EIF5A2 promotes the formation of the first peptide bond during the initial stage of protein synthesis. EIF5A2 is the single eukaryotic protein to have a hypusine residue, which is a post-translational modification of a lysine by the addition of a butylamino group.
Description
EIF5A2 Recombinant E.coli produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 173 amino acids (1-153 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 18.9 kDa. The EIF5A2 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
