ANTI-PKR

The Uses of ANTI-PKR

Anti-PKR antibody produced in rabbit has been used in Western Blotting.

The Uses of ANTI-PKR

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

General Description

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. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions

EIF2AK1 acts at the level of translation initiation to downregulate protein synthesis in response to stress. The protein is a kinase that can be inactivated by hemin. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.The HRI gene is localized to 7p22 where its 3′ end slightly overlaps the 3′ end of the gene JTV1. The two genes are transcribed from opposite strands. Studies in rat and rabbit suggest that the HRI gene product phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2. Its kinase activity is induced by low levels of heme and inhibited by the presence of heme. Sequence Note: The sequence AF181071.1 is a chimeric mRNA clone. Only the heme-regulated initiation factor 2-alpha kinase region was propagated into this RefSeq record.
