Mbtps1 and a number of other genes are needed to help process unfolded proteins by activating the unfolded protein response, but the diminished capacity of Mbtps1 causes unfolded protein to build up.

Gene mutation linked to inflammatory bowel disease identified

Our gene expression analysis also suggests another novel aspect underlying methapyrilene-mediated hepatotoxicity, namely, ER stress resulting from the unfolded protein response [reviewed by Boyce and Yuan (2006)].

Identification of genes implicated in methapyrilene-induced ...
