Gene information for PRKRA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8575
Official gene symbolPRKRA
Full nameprotein kinase, interferon-inducible double stranded RNA dependent activator
Aliases,DYT16,HSD14,PACT,RAX,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein kinase activated by double-stranded RNA which mediates the effects of interferon in response to viral infection. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dystonia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
