• Background: eIF-2 alpha (also known as eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2, subunit 1 alpha) is a 35 kD member of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 family. This cytoplasmic protein is ubiquitously expressed and can downregulate protein synthesis when phosphorylated by PKR kinase under stress conditions (hypoxia, viral infection, ER stress). Increased expression of eIF-2 alpha has been linked to progression of thyroid carcinoma.Signaling inhibited by p58 (IPK) and PKR phosphorylation. Can attenuate the unfolded protein response and inhibits translation. This protein has been shown to interact with eIF2B alpha, eIF2B delta, eIF2B beta subunit 2, p67, p68, and PKR. eIF-2 alpha is a target for cleavage by caspase 3, caspase 6, caspase 8, and caspase 10.
