    Summary
    Enables eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2alpha kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including PERK-mediated unfolded protein response; positive regulation of JNK cascade; and regulation of G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; larval muscle cell; larval muscle system; and visceral muscle primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Wolcott-Rallison syndrome and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human EIF2AK3 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 3).
