Abstract excerpt
XBP1 is a key transcription factor regulating the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, which is a cytoprotective mechanism for dealing with an accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER (ER stress). The expression of XBP1 is regulated by two different mechanisms: mRNA splicing and protein stability. When ER stress occurs, unspliced XBP1 mRNA is converted to mature mRNA, from which an active...
