It is also the kinase responsible for phosphorylating eIF2α in these conditions (4). In this work we intended to determine if PERK is regulated at the translational level by uORFs in normal and ER stress conditions, and understand the impact of this regulation for the cell-stress response.engPERK mRNASensor ProteinsDoenças GenéticasGenómica Funcional e Estruturalconference object
