Emerging Roles for XBP1, a sUPeR Transcription Factor
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) is a unique basic region leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor whose active form is generated by a nonconventional splicing reaction upon disruption of homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR).
