Entrez ID 440275
Gene name Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 4
Gene symbol EIF2AK4
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GCN2PVOD2
Chromosome 15
Chromosome location 15q15.1
Summary This gene encodes a member of a family of kinases that phosphorylate the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2 (EIF2), resulting in the downregulaton of protein synthesis. The encoded protein responds to amino acid deprivation by bin
