    Summary
    Predicted to enable double-stranded RNA binding activity; eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2alpha kinase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including response to exogenous dsRNA; response to lipopolysaccharide; and response to vitamin E. Predicted to be located in cytosol and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Biomarker of pulmonary venoocclusive disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; Huntington's disease; Parkinson's disease; dystonia 33; and hepatitis B. Orthologous to human EIF2AK2 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 2). [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.
