Abstract
Secretory or transmembrane types proteins can perform their functions for the first time just by being correctly folded into 3D structures. The process of folding is elaborately controlled. The important cell organ for this folding is endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Abnormality in folding is recognized as ER stress in cells, and adaptive response caused by the stress is called "unfolded protein response" (UPR). This article describes molecular mechanisms during the process from ER stress to UPR.
