Activation of EIF2AK2 allows the kinase to phosphorylate its natural substrate, the alpha subunit of eukaryotic protein synthesis initiation factor-2, leading to the inhibition of protein synthesis. By FISH analysis, Squire et al. (1993) assigned the EIF2AK2 gene to the boundary between chromosome 2p22-p21. Ben-Asouli et al. (2002) showed that human gamma-interferon mRNA uses local activation of PKR in the cell to control its own translation yield. IFNG mRNA was found to activate PKR through a pseudoknot in its 5-prime untranslated region. Taylor et al. (1999) studied the mechanism underlying the resistance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) to interferon. They demonstrated that the HCV envelope protein E2 contains a sequence identical with phosphorylation sites of the interferon-inducible protein kinase PKR and the translation initiation factor EIF2-alpha, a target of PKR. E2 inhibited the kinase activity of PKR and blocked its inhibitory effect on protein synthesis and cell growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eImmunogen\u003c\/b\u003e: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human PKR, different from the related mouse sequence by fifteen amino acids, and from the related rat sequence by thirteen amino acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClonality\u003c\/b\u003e: Polyclonal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e: Each vial contains 4 mg Trehalose, 0.9 mg NaCl and 0.2 mg Na2HPO4.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurification\u003c\/b\u003e: Immunogen affinity purified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReconstitution\u003c\/b\u003e: Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug\/ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReference\u003c\/b\u003e: 1.
