The ASK1-MAP Kinase Signaling in ER Stress and Neurodegenerative Diseases
1 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Accumulation of unfolded and/or misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen induces ER stress. ER stress triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR), which includes the attenuation of general protein synthesis and the transcriptional activation of the genes encoding ER-resident chaperones and molecules involved in the ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The UPR coordinately reduces ER stress by...
