Description

Mouse Phospho-PERK Ready-To-Use IHC Kit-background-PERK, a member of the GCN2 subfamily of Ser/Thr protein kinases, 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. It likely serves as a critical effector of unfolded protein response (UPR)-induced G1 growth arrest due to the loss of cyclin D1 Perturbation in protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) promotes reversible dissociation from HSPA5/BIP and oligomerization, resulting in transautophosphorylation and kinase activity induction Expression of this Type I membrane protein is ubiquitous, with highest levels seen in secretory tissues. Defects in EIF2AK3 are the cause of Wolcott-Rallison syndrome (WRS), also known as multiple epiphyseal dysplasia with early-onset diabetes mellitus. WRS is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by permanent neonatal or early infancy insulin-dependent diabetes and, at a later age, epiphyseal dysplasia, osteoporosis, growth retardation and other multisystem manifestations, such as hepatic and renal dysfunctions, mental retardation and cardiovascular abnormalities.-synonyms-p-PERK(Thr980); PERK(Phospho Thr980); PERK(Phospho T980); mo(Thr980)/hu (Thr982)/rat (Thr974); HRI; HsPEK; Pancreatic eIF2-alpha kinase; PEK; PRKR like endoplasmic reticulum kinase; WRS; DKFZp781H1925; EC 2.7.11.1; EIF2AK3; Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 3; Heme regulated EIF2 alpha kinase.-sample type-FFPE tissue-storage and stability -Storage and Stability: Please store components at the temperatures indicated on the individual tube labels.
