EIF2AK1 - eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 1 Gene
Also Known as HCR; HRI; hHRI; LEMSPAD
Species: Homo sapiens
About EIF2AK1
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 209 orthologues, 8 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 37.9), placenta (RPKM 32.2) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene acts at the level of translation initiation to downregulate protein synthesis in response to stress. The encoded protein is a kinase that can be inactivated by hemin. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
