DYRK2 negatively regulates cardiomyocyte growth by mediating repressor function of GSK-3β on eIF2Bε.

A prerequisite of hypertrophic response of the myocardium is an increase in protein synthesis. A central regulator of translation initiation is Eukaryotic initiation factor 2B (eIF2B). Here we assessed the hypothesis that regulation of protein synthesis via eIF2Bε is essential to cardiac hypertrophi...
