    Summary
    Enables eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2alpha kinase activity and tRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including GCN2-mediated signaling; learning or memory; and regulation of translational initiation. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to starvation; endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; and regulation of translation. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; lung; and ovary. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pulmonary venoocclusive disease 2. Orthologous to human EIF2AK4 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001171277.1

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' UTR and coding sequence and lacks an alternate internal exon in the 5' end compared to variant 1, that causes a frameshift. The resulting isoform (2) has a shorter and distinct N-terminus compared to isoform 1.
