GRP78 in human diseases: From molecular chaperone to therapeutic target

Glucose-regulated Protein 78 (GRP78, also known as BiP/HSPA5) is a central member of the Hsp70 family. As a key molecular chaperone in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), it plays an important role in cell survival and biological function by maintaining protein folding homeostasis and regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and the unfolded protein response (UPR). Its function is precisely regulated by various post-translational modifications (PTMs), ...
