The [KO Validated] PKR/EIF2AK2 Antibody (CAB5578) is a high-quality antibody developed for reliable detection and analysis of target proteins. This antibody, generated in rabbits, is highly specific for EIF2AK2 in human samples and has been validated for Western blot applications. By binding to the EIF2AK2 protein, this antibody allows for the detection and analysis of EIF2AK2 levels in a variety of cell types, making it a versatile tool for studies in virology and immunology.EIF2AK2, also known as protein kinase R (PKR), is a crucial component of the antiviral response, acting as a sensor for viral infection and initiating the shutdown of protein synthesis to inhibit viral replication.
This antibody is validated for use in WB, ELISA applications and has demonstrated reactivity against Human samples.

Recombinant protein (or fragment).This information is considered to be commercially sensitive.
The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine protein kinase that is activated by autophosphorylation after binding to dsRNA. The activated form of the encoded protein can phosphorylate translation initiation factor EIF2S1, which in turn inhibits protein synthesis. This protein is also activated by manganese ions and heparin. The encoded protein plays an important role in the innate immune response against multiple DNA and RNA viruses.
