Rabbit Anti-Phospho-PERK(Thr196)/FITC Conjugated antibody
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010].
Function:
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. Serves as a critical effector of unfolded protein response (UPR)-induced G1 growth arrest due to the loss of cyclin D1.
Subunit:
Forms dimers with HSPA5/BIP in resting cells. Oligomerizes in ER-stressed cells. Interacts with DNAJC3.
Subcellular Location:
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitous.
Post-translational modifications:
Autophosphorylated.
N-glycosylated.
Similarity:
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. GCN2 subfamily.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
