Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A protects pancreatic beta cells during endoplasmic reticulum stress while rescuing translation inhibition
2021-02-17
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced unfolded protein response (UPR) helps decide β cell survival in diabetes. The alternative eukaryotic initiation factor 2A (EIF2A) has been proposed to mediate EIF2S1-independent translation during cellular stress and viral infection, but its role in β cells is unknown. EIF2A abundance is high in human and mouse islets relative to other tissues, and b...
