PRKRA
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Protein kinase, interferon-inducible double stranded RNA dependent activator, also known as interferon-inducible double stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase activator A or Protein ACTivator of the interferon-induced protein kinase (PACT) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PRKRA gene.[5][6][7] PACT heterodimerizes with and activates protein kinase R.[6][8] PRKRA mutations have been linked to a rare form of dystonia parkinsonism.[9]
