PKR (phospho Thr446) Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-PKR (phospho Thr446) Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

The protein encoded by EIF2AK2 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 2) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that is activated by autophosphorylation after binding to dsRNA. The activated form of the encoded protein can phosphorylate translation initiation factor EIF2S1, which in turn inhibits protein synthesis. This protein is also activated by manganese ions and heparin. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for EIF2AK2.
