Target Details for PERK

Target: PERK (EIF2AK3) (Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 2-alpha Kinase 3 (EIF2AK3))

Alternative Name: EIF2AK3

Background: The protein encoded by this gene phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 2 (EIF2), leading to its inactivation, and thus to a rapid reduction of translational initiation and repression of global protein synthesis. It is a type I membrane protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it is induced by ER stress caused by malfolded proteins. Mutations in this gene are associated with Wolcott-Rallison syndrome.
