Unfolded protein stress in the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria: a role in neurodegeneration
Protein folding occurs in several intracellular locations including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria. In normal conditions there is a balance between the levels of unfolded proteins and protein folding machinery. Disruption of homeostasis and an accumulation of unfolded proteins trigg...
