Investigating the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response and its role in sleep

Abstract:

Proteostasis involves regulating the synthesis, folding and quality control of proteins in the cell, and is essential for all cells in our body, including neurons in our brain. Errors in protein folding are dealt with by quality control mechanisms in the cell. One such mechanism is the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR), which is elicited by the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) under conditions of ER stress. The UPR is an adaptive process involved in maintai...
