    Summary
    Enables heme binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and protein kinase activity. Involved in negative regulation of cell population proliferation and negative regulation of hemoglobin biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including macrophage differentiation; protoporphyrinogen IX metabolic process; and regulation of cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in alimentary system; central nervous system; liver; nervous system; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human EIF2AK1 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    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.
