PERK, protein kinase-like ER kinase: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
PERK is a type of kinase that is activated in response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which occurs when the ER is overwhelmed with unfolded or misfolded proteins. Once activated, PERK phosphorylates and activates the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α), leading to the attenuation of global protein synthesis and the induction of specific genes involved in the UPR.
PERK is overexpressed in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colon cancer, and that its expression is often associated with poor prognosis.
PERK has been shown to have both tumor-suppressive and tumor-promoting roles, depending on the context.
