Scientific Background: | The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident protein kinase PERK (also known as Pek, or Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 α-subunit kinase 3 (EIF2AK3)) attenuates protein synthesis in response to ER stress through the phosphorylation of translation initiation factor eIF2α on serine 51. A Type I membrane protein located in the ER, PERK is a critical regulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR). Defects in PERK are the cause of Wolcott-Rallison syndrome (WRS). |
