Background: An interferon-inducible, RNA-dependent protein serine /threonine kinase (PKR) has been described. PKR in earlier literature is variously known as DAI, dsJ, PI kinase, p65, p67 or TIK for the mouse kinase, and p68 or p69 for the human kinase. The PKR kinase substrate is the alpha subunit of protein synthesis initiation factor eIF-2. Phosphorylation of eIF-2alpha on serine-51 results in inhibition of translation. The serine /threonine kinase catalytic domains map to the carboxy terminal half of the protein while the RNA-binding domains are located in the amino terminal region. PERK is a type I transmembrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that contains a kinase domain similar to the kinase domain of PKR. PERK is activated in response to ER stress and phosphorylates eIF-2alpha, thus inhibiting the translation of mRNA.Synonyms: Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3, HsPEK, PEK, PERK, PRKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase, Pancreatic eIF2-alpha kinase
