The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized transmembrane proteins IRE1, PERK and ATF6 detect the load of unfolded protein in the lumen of the organelle, serving as stress receptors. They transduce ...
Thomas Ostwald and David MacLennan were characterizing proteins that bind to calcium in the sarcoplasmic reticulum — a specialized type of endoplasmic reticulum found in muscle cells.
Astrocytic ER calcium release and gap junction communication exhibit circadian modulation driven by HERPUD1, highlighting the importance of astrocytic circadian rhythms in brain function.
