MNK1 may play a role in the response to environmental stress and cytokines. It appears to regulate transcription by phosphorylating EIF4E, thus increasing the affinity of this protein for the 7-methylguanosine-containing mRNA cap. Source: Recombinant human MNK (T385D), aa2-end (deletion 165-205aa), with N-terminal GST tag, expressed in a Baculovirus infected Sf9 cell expression system. Molecular Weight: 74kD Applications: Useful for the study of enzyme kinetics, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -70C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months.
