XBP1 (X-box binding protein 1) is a transcription factor that induces genes required for optimal protein secretion by plasma cells and is part of the unfolded protein response; its mRNA is spliced from an inactive to an active form by signals produced by ER stress.
XBP1 (proteína de unión al elemento X 1) es un factor de transcripción que induce genes necesarios para la secreción óptima de proteínas por células plasmáticas y es parte de la respuesta a proteínas mal plegadas; su ARNm se edita de una forma inactiva a una activa en respuesta al estrés del RE.
