NCIt synonyms : Protein Kinase, Interferon-Inducible Double Stranded RNA Dependent Activator Gene; Protein Kinase, Interferon-Inducible Double-Stranded RNA-Dependent Activator Gene; Protein Activator of Interferon Induced Protein Kinase EIF2AK2 wt Allele; HSD-14; HSD14; PACT; DYT16; RAX; Protein Activator of Interferon-Induced Protein Kinase Gene;
NCIt definition : Human PRKRA wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2q31.2 and is approximately
20 kb in length. This allele, which encodes interferon-inducible double-stranded RNA-dependent
protein kinase activator A protein, plays a role in RNA-induced silencing and the
activation of interferon-inducible eIF2alpha kinase (EIF2AK2) activity. Mutation of
the gene is associated with dystonia 16.;
