Product Details
eEF2K (Thr-348)
Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) catalyzes the translocation of peptidyl-tRNA from the A site to the P site on the ribosome. eEF2 kinase (eEF2K) phosphorylates and inactivates eEF2, resulting in the inhibition of peptide-chain elongation. eEF2K is normally dependent on Ca2+ ions and calmodulin, and can be activated by PKA in response to elevated cAMP levels during cell stress- or starvation-related conditions. Regulation of eEF2K occurs through phosphorylation at multiple sites. Ser-78 phosphorylation is required for calmodulin binding and eEF2K activity, while phosphorylation of Ser-500 is required for Ca2+/calmodulin-independent kinase activity. Thr-348 is an autophosphorylation site that is required for kinase activity. Inhibitory phosphorylation may also regulate eEF2K, since phosphorylation at Ser-359 by SAPK4/p38δ causes inactivation of eEF2K. Thus, multisite phospho-regulation of eEF2K may be important for proper control of eEF2K activity and protein translation.

Phospho-eEF2K (Thr-348) synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) corresponds to amino acids surrounding Thr-348 in human eEF2K. This sequence is well conserved in rat and mouse eEF2K, and has low homology to other proteins.
