IRE1 Inhibitors

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of IRE1 inhibitors for use in various applications. IRE1 inhibitors are crucial tools in the study of the unfolded protein response (UPR), a cellular stress response related to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). IRE1, or inositol-requiring enzyme 1, is a key sensor in the UPR pathway, responsible for detecting misfolded proteins within the ER and initiating corrective actions to maintain cellular homeostasis. In scientific research, IRE1 inhibitors are used to dissect the mechanisms of protein folding, degradation, and secretion, offering insights into the complex regulatory networks that govern cell survival and apoptosis. By modulating the activity of IRE1, researchers can explore the intricacies of ER stress responses and their implications in various biological processes, such as immune response, metabolism, and neurodegeneration. This makes IRE1 inhibitors invaluable in the study of cell biology and biochemistry, enabling the elucidation of pathways that are often dysregulated in various conditions. Moreover, these inhibitors provide a means to experimentally manipulate cellular pathways, thereby enhancing our understanding of cellular physiology and the molecular basis of diseases.
