PRKCH (PRKCH upstream open reading frame 2) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. Tied to Leukaemia, Myeloproliferative neoplasms, Systemic mastocytosis and 1 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Product of an upstream open reading frame (ORF) of PRKCH which regulates translation of the downstream protein kinase C eta (PKC-eta) ORF. Functions as a repressive element that maintains low basal levels of PKC-eta in growing cells but enhances its expression during stress conditions induced by amino acid starvation in a EIF2AK4/GCN2-dependent manner. In addition to its role in regulating PKC-eta translation, also inhibits the kinase activity of PKC-eta as well as other protein kinases including PRKCD, PRKCQ and PRKCE but not PRKCA, PRKCG or PRKCZ. Locus 14q23.1 (HGNC).
