Description | PDCD4 (programmed cell death protein 4) was identified as a suppressor of neoplastic transformation. It interacts with eukaryotic initiation factors eIF4AI and eIF4AII. PDCD4 colocalizes with eIF4A in the cytoplasm and inhibits the activity of eIF4A as an ATP-dependent RNA helicase. |
Storage Condition and Buffer | Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline , pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol. Store at +4°C short term. Store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze / thaw cycle. |
Name | PDCD4 |
---|---|
Synonyms | H731 |
Function | Inhibits translation initiation and cap-dependent translation. May excert its function by hindering the interaction between EIF4A1 and EIF4G. Inhibits the helicase activity of EIF4A. Modulates the activation of JUN kinase. Down-regulates the expression of MAP4K1, thus inhibiting events important in driving invasion, namely, MAPK85 activation and consequent JUN-dependent transcription. May play a role in apoptosis. Tumor suppressor. Inhibits tumor promoter-induced neoplastic transformation. Binds RNA (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q61823}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q61823}. Note=Shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm (By similarity). Predominantly nuclear under normal growth conditions, and when phosphorylated at Ser-457 (PubMed:16357133) |
Tissue Location | Up-regulated in proliferative cells. Highly expressed in epithelial cells of the mammary gland. Reduced expression in lung cancer and colon carcinoma. |
