After trafficking to the Golgi and undergoing regulated proteolysis, ATF6 activates genes that restore ER proteostasis during unfolded protein accumulation.

Through IRE1, PERK and ATF6 signalling, the unfolded protein response restores proteostasis, reduces protein load and protects cells from stress‑induced damage.

Through IRE1, PERK and ATF6 signalling, cells expand folding capacity, reduce protein load and maintain homeostasis under conditions of ER stress.
