PEK/PERK Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-PEK/PERK Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

The protein encoded by EIF2AK3 phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 2, leading to its inactivation, and thus to a rapid reduction of translational initiation and repression of global protein synthesis. This protein is thought to modulate mitochondrial function. 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.
