Target Details for EIF2AK2

Target: EIF2AK2 (Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2-alpha Kinase 2 (EIF2AK2))

Alternative Name: PKR

Background: Following activation by double-stranded RNA in the presence of ATP, the kinase becomes autophosphorylated and can catalyze the phosphorylation of the translation initiation factor EIF2S1, which leads to an inhibition of the initiation of protein synthesis. Double-stranded RNA is generated during the course of a viral infection.

Molecular Weight: 68 kDa
