Abstract excerpt
ATF6 is a key transcriptional activator of the unfolded protein response (UPR), which allows mammalian cells to maintain cellular homeostasis when they are subjected to a variety of environmental and physiological stresses that target the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). ATF6, a 90-kDa ER transmembrane protein, contains three evolutionarily conserved N-linked glycosylation sites within its carboxyl luminal domain....
