[Involvement of unfolded protein responses in neurodegeneration].

Abstract excerpt

Various stresses cause the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). To manage the state, cells have the unfolded protein responses (UPR). If the UPR is unsuccessful, ER-mediated apoptosis occurs. To date, three types of UPR, i.e. the induction of chaperones, the translation block, and ER-associated degradation (ERAD) have been reported. To sense the accumulation of unfolded proteins,...
