PERK (PEK) Antibody – Rabbit Monoclonal

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. Catalog #: MBS601178

PERK, an eIF2 alpha kinase, is a transmembrane protein resident in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane and couples ER stress signals to translation inhibition. ER stress increases the activity of PERK, which then phosphorylates eIF2 alpha, resulting in… More details

Other Notes

Small volumes of anti-PEK antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

UniProt Comments for PEK

Function: Phosphorylates the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation-initiation factor 2 (EIF2), leading to its inactivation and thus to a rapid reduction of translational initiation and repression of global protein synthesis

By similarity.

Catalytic activity: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

Enzyme regulation: Perturbation in protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) promotes reversible dissociation from HSPA5/BIP and oligomerization, resulting in transautophosphorylation and kinase activity induction

By similarity.

Subunit structure: Forms dimers with HSPA5/BIP in resting cells. Oligomerizes in ER-stressed cells

By similarity.

Subcellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein

By similarity.

Induction: By ER stress.

Domain: The lumenal domain senses perturbations in protein folding in the ER, probably through reversible interaction with HSPA5/BIP

By similarity.

Post-translational modification: Autophosphorylated

By similarity.N-glycosylated

By similarity.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. GCN2 subfamily.Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
