The GCN2 inhibitor IMPACT contributes to diet-induced obesity and body temperature control
IMPACT, a highly conserved protein, is an inhibitor of the eIF2α kinase GCN2. In mammals, it is preferentially expressed in neurons. Knock-down of IMPACT expression in neuronal cells increases basal GCN2 activation and eIF2α phosphorylation and decreases translation initiation. In the mouse brain, I...
