Description
The SigPath™ Human/Mouse 4EBP1(S65) Phosphorylation ELISA Kit provides a rapid and sensitive solution for quantifying p4EBP1(S65) levels in cultured cells. This cell-based system eliminates lysate preparation, featuring in-well total protein normalization to ensure high precision. It is an essential tool for high-throughput screening of inhibitors and activators within the mTOR signaling pathway.
Features
High-Throughput Cell-Based Format: Directly culture and assay cells in 96-well plates, eliminating the need for laborious cell lysate preparation. Internal Protein Normalization: Total cellular protein is measured in the same well to correct for variations in cell loading and density. Rapid Diagnostic Workflow: Total assay time is reduced to 6.5 hours, requiring only 2.5 hours of hands-on technical time for completion. Dual-Species Reactivity: Validated for both human and mouse samples, ensuring high specificity for the S65 phosphorylation site of the 4EBP1 protein.

Background
4EBP1 acts as a critical repressor of cap-dependent translation by sequestering the initiation factor eIF4E. Phosphorylation at Ser65 is the final regulatory "switch" that releases eIF4E, triggering the assembly of the translation machinery.
Pathways
As a primary downstream effector of the mTORC1 complex, 4EBP1 integrates signals from the PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways. Phosphorylation at S65 signifies active nutrient and growth factor signaling, promoting cell growth and proliferation.
