Summary
Enables eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2alpha kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including HRI-mediated signaling; regulation of protein metabolic process; and response to iron ion starvation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including macrophage differentiation; multicellular organismal-level iron ion homeostasis; and regulation of protein metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Orthologous to human EIF2AK1 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 1). [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.
