Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionpek-1 encodes a predicted transmembrane protein kinase orthologous to human eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3 (EIF2AK3, OMIM:604032), which when mutated leads to Wolcott-Rallison syndrome; PEK-1 is strongly expressed in intestinal cells and is required for the unfolded protein response (UPR) that counteracts cellular stress induced by accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); PEK-1 may function in the endoplasmic reticulum to phosphorylate eIF2alpha and inhibit protein synthesis in response to endogenous ER stress.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005044

Automated_descriptionEnables eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2alpha kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including PERK-mediated unfolded protein response; nematode larval development; and positive regulation of protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nucleus. Expressed in intestine; muscle cell; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Wolcott-Rallison syndrome and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Is an ortholog of human EIF2AK3 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
