General description of the gene and the encoded protein(s) using information from HGNC and Ensembl, as well as predictions made by the Human Protein Atlas project.
Gene namei
Official gene symbol, which is typically a short form of the gene name, according to HGNC.
Assigned HPA protein class(es) for the encoded protein(s).
Plasma proteins
Predicted locationi
All transcripts of all genes have been analyzed regarding the location(s) of corresponding protein based on prediction methods for signal peptides and transmembrane regions.
Genes with at least one transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, according to prediction methods or to UniProt location data, have been further annotated and classified with the aim to determine if the corresponding protein(s) are secreted or actually retained in intracellular locations or membrane-attached.
Remaining genes, with no transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, will be assigned the prediction-based location(s).
The annotated location overrules the predicted location, so that a gene encoding a predicted secreted protein that has been annotated as intracellular will have intracellular as the final location.
Gene information from Ensembl and Entrez, as well as links to available gene identifiers are displayed here. Information was retrieved from Ensembl if not indicated otherwise.

Ribosome collision sensor that plays a key role in the RNF14-RNF25 translation quality control pathway, a pathway that takes place when a ribosome has stalled during translation, and which promotes ubiquitination and degradation of translation factors on stalled ribosomes 1,2,3,4,5. Directly binds to the ribosome and acts as a sentinel for colliding ribosomes: activated following ribosome stalling and promotes recruitment of RNF14, which directly ubiquitinates EEF1A1/eEF1A, leading to its degradation 6,7,8. In addition to EEF1A1/eEF1A, the RNF14-RNF25 translation quality control pathway mediates degradation of ETF1/eRF1 and ubiquitination of ribosomal protein 9,10. GCN1 also acts as a positive activator of the integrated stress response (ISR) by mediating activation of EIF2AK4/GCN2 in response to amino acid starvation (By similarity). Interaction with EIF2AK4/GCN2 on translating ribosomes stimulates EIF2AK4/GCN2 kinase activity, leading to phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF-2-alpha/EIF2S1) (By similarity). EIF2S1/eIF-2-alpha phosphorylation converts EIF2S1/eIF-2-alpha into a global protein synthesis inhibitor, leading to a global attenuation of cap-dependent translation, and thus to a reduced overall utilization of amino acids, while concomitantly initiating the preferential translation of ISR-specific mRNAs, such as the transcriptional activator ATF4, and hence allowing ATF4-mediated reprogramming of amino acid biosynthetic gene expression to alleviate nutrient depletion (By similarity)....show less
