PRKRA

SYNONYMS
Interferon-inducible double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase activator A, Protein Kinase IFN Double Stranded RNA Activator, PKR-associated protein X, PKR-associating protein X, Protein activator of the interferon-induced protein kinase, Protein kinase, interferon-inducible double-stranded RNA-dependent activator, PRKRA, PACT, RAX, HSD-14, HSD14, Protein kinase, interferon-inducible double stranded RNA dependent activator, DYT16.

INTRODUCTION
Protein Kinase IFN Double Stranded RNA Activator, also known as PRKRA, mediates the effects of interferon when a viral infection takes place. PRKRA activates EIF2AK2/PKR in the absence of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and leads to phosphorylation of EIF2S1/EFI2-alpha and inhibition of translation and induction of apoptosis. Mutations in PRKRA are associated with dystonia.

DESCRIPTION
PRKRA Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 336 amino acids (1-313a.a) and having a molecular mass of 36.8kDa.
PRKRA is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
