GeneID: 27103 Mouse EIF2AK4

GeneID: 440275 Human EIF2AK4

Swiss-port # Q9P2K8 Human Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 4

Swiss-port # Q9QZ05 Mouse Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 4

Gene Symbol EIF2AK4
Gene Full Name eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 4
Background This gene encodes a member of a family of kinases that phosphorylate the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2 (EIF2), resulting in the downregulaton of protein synthesis. The encoded protein responds to amino acid deprivation by binding uncharged transfer RNAs. It may also be activated by glucose deprivation and viral infection. Mutations in this gene have been found in individuals suffering from autosomal recessive pulmonary venoocclusive-disease-2. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]
Function Can phosphorylate the alpha subunit of EIF2 and may mediate translational control. [UniProt]
Cellular Localization Cytoplasm. [UniProt]
Calculated MW 187 kDa
PTM Autophosphorylated; autophosphorylation on Thr-899 is increased upon amino acid starvation and in UV irradiation cells and inhibited in presence of IMPACT. [UniProt]
