Abstract excerpt
A low level of UDP-Glc occurs in cells exposed to hypoxia or glucose starvation. This work reveals that a 65% reduction in the cellular UDP-Glc level causes up-regulation of the mitochondrial chaperone GRP75 and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident chaperones GRP58, ERp72, GRP78, GRP94, GRP170...
