EIF3B Antibody / Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 subunit B, 100 ug

EIF3B (Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 3, Subunit B), also called PRT1 or EIF3-p116, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EIF3B gene. By searching an EST database, Methot et al.(1997) identified a cDNA encoding a human Prt1 homolog. Asano et al.(1997) demonstrated that the 115-kD component of HeLa cell eIF3 is actually composed of 2 proteins, p116 (PRT1) and an unrelated 110-kD protein. Chaudhuri et al.(1997) isolated cDNAs encoding PRT1, which they called p110 based on the size of the corresponding component of rabbit eIF3.
