Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) maintains the cellular homeostasis. When misfolded proteins accumulate, they activate three major mechanisms: IRE1α, PERK, ATF6. These proteins translocate to the nucleus and upregulate the proteins responsible for increased functioning in the ER. Failure to eliminate the accumulation of misfolded proteins, triggers apoptosis.
