Abstract
The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is responsible for synthesis and addressing of secreted and membrane proteins. Adverse environmental conditions may lead to disruption of ER homeostasis causing accumulation of unfolded/misfolded proteins in ER, a phenomenon known as ER stress. ER stress activates the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) that acts in several signaling cascades to improve chaperon…
