NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of a family of kinases that phosphorylate the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2 (EIF2), resulting in the downregulaton of protein synthesis. The encoded protein responds to amino acid deprivation by binding uncharged transfer RNAs. It may also be activated by glucose deprivation and viral infection. Mutations in this gene have been found in individuals suffering from autosomal recessive pulmonary venoocclusive-disease-2. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]
Uniprot Description
GCN2: a kinase of the PEK family. Phosphorylates and inhibits eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)-2 alpha, providing an important protective mechanism during various cellular stress conditions including endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

Product Notes
The EIF2AK4 eif2ak4 (Catalog #AAA4160117) is an Active Protein produced from Insect Cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "EIF2AK4 (GCN2), Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
