Abstract excerpt
The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a eukaryotic signaling pathway linking protein flux through the endoplasmic reticulum to transcription and translational repression. Herein, we demonstrate UPR activation in the leukodystrophy Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) as well as in three mouse models of this disease and transfected fibroblasts expressing mutant protein. The CHOP protein, widely known as a...
