Gene symbol PRKRA
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DYT16HSD14PACTRAX
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2q31.2
Summary This gene encodes a protein kinase activated by double-stranded RNA which mediates the effects of interferon in response to viral infection. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dystonia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript var
