| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Involved in GCN2-mediated signaling and cellular response to amino acid starvation. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; heart; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and lung. Orthologous to human GCN1 (GCN1 activator of EIF2AK4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality and severe embryonic growth retardation. Mice homozygous for a deletion of the RWD binding domain show milder embryonic growth retardation, perinatal lethality due to respiratory failure, and cell cycle and proliferation defects.
