“…The PERK arm of the unfolded protein response (UPR) has emerged as a prominent stress‐responsive signaling pathway involved in regulating mitochondria during ER stress (Rainbolt et al , 2014 ; Quintana‐Cabrera & Soriano, 2019 ; Cannon & Nedergaard, 2021 ; Almeida et al , 2022 ). PERK is an ER transmembrane protein that is activated in response to ER stress through a mechanism involving oligomerization and autophosphorylation of its cytosolic kinase domain (Fig 1A ; Walter & Ron, 2011 ; Gardner et al , 2013 ; Hetz & Papa, 2018 ).…”
