Abstract:27The unfolded protein response (UPR) is associated with the hepatic metabolic function, 28 yet it is not well understood how endoplasmic reticulum (ER) disturbance might 29 influence metabolic homeostasis. Here, we describe the physiological function of 30Cysteine-rich with EGF-like domains 2 (Creld2), previously characterized as a 31 downstream target of the ER-stress signal transducer Atf6. Creld2 enhances protein 32 folding and degradation through its interaction with proteins involved in UPR, thereby, 33 … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
