Eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α) is a subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor that helps form the preinitiation complex that begins protein translation from mRNA. When it is phosphorylated by PKR, protein translation is suppressed.
El eIF2α (factor de iniciación eucariota 2 alfa) es una subunidad del factor de iniciación eucariota que ayuda a formar el complejo de preiniciación que inicia la traducción de proteínas a partir de ARNm. Cuando es fosforilado por PKR, la traducción de proteínas se suprime.
