Role of the Unfolded Protein Response Regulator GRP78/BiP in Development, Cancer, and Neurological Disorders
23 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
GRP78/BiP is a major endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone protein critical for protein quality control of the ER, as well as controlling the activation of the ER-transmembrane signaling molecules. Through creation of mouse models targeting the Grp78 allele, the function of GRP78 in development and disease has been investigated. These led to the discovery that GRP78 function is obligatory for early embryonic...
