Gene: EIF2AK1

Alternate names for this Gene: HCR|HRI|LEMSPAD|hHRI

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene acts at the level of translation initiation to downregulate protein synthesis in response to stress. The encoded protein is a kinase that can be inactivated by hemin. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7p22.1

Description of this Gene: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
