ERN1/ERN2 Antibodies

Target Information

ERN1 (Endoplasmic Reticulum To Nucleus Signaling 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with ERN1 include Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia, Familial, 5 and Epiphyseal Dysplasia, Multiple, With Early-Onset Diabetes Mellitus. Among its related pathways are Spinocerebellar ataxia and Photodynamic therapy-induced unfolded protein response. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include protein homodimerization activity and transferase activity, transferring phosphorus-containing groups. An important paralog of this gene is ERN2. This gene encodes the transmembrane protein kinase inositol-requiring enzyme 1. The encoded protein contains two functional catalytic domains, a serine/threonine-protein kinase domain and an endoribonuclease domain. This protein functions as a sensor of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and triggers an intracellular signaling pathway termed the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR is an ER stress response that is conserved from yeast to mammals and activates genes involved in degrading misfolded proteins, regulating protein synthesis and activating molecular chaperones. This protein specifically mediates the splicing and activation of the stress response transcription factor X-box binding protein 1. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
