Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The UPR is activated when receptors located in the ER membrane sense the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the ER lumen. The activation of the UPR then results in the upregulation of genes involved in the production of more ER membrane and chaperone proteins to facilitate protein folding and prevent ER stress. Furthermore, activation of the UPR causes the translocation of gene regulatory proteins such as ATF6, IRE1, and PERK to the nucleus where they regulate gene expression.
