Description
Product Characteristics:
Synonyms: IRE1, IRE1P, IRE1a, hIRE1p, Serine/threonine-protein kinase/endoribonuclease IRE1, Endoplasmic reticulum-to-nucleus signaling 1, Inositol-requiring protein 1, Ire1-alpha, ERN1
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is the ER to nucleus signalling 1 protein, a human homologue of the yeast Ire1 gene product. This protein possesses intrinsic kinase activity and an endoribonuclease activity and it is important in altering gene expression as a response to endoplasmic reticulum-based stress signals.
