Disease
E2AK3_HUMAN Wolcott-Rallison syndrome. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.[1]
Function
E2AK3_HUMAN Phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 2 (EIF2), leading to its inactivation and thus to a rapid reduction of translational initiation and repression of global protein synthesis. Serves as a critical effector of unfolded protein response (UPR)-induced G1 growth arrest due to the loss of cyclin-D1 (CCND1) (By similarity).
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The structure-based design and optimization of a novel series of selective PERK inhibitors are described resulting in the identification of 44 as a potent, highly selective, and orally active tool compound suitable for PERK pathway biology exploration both in vitro and in vivo.
