Interferon-Induced, Double-Stranded RNA-Activated Protein Kinase

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Interferon-induced, double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase (551 aa, ~62 kDa) is encoded by the human EIF2AK2 gene. This protein is involved in both serine/threonine phosphorylation and the inhibition of protein synthesis.
