IRE1α Antibody (YB-17) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects IRE1α in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). IRE1α plays a crucial role in the unfolded protein response (UPR), a cellular stress response activated when unfolded proteins accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). IRE1α is primarily located in the ER lumen, where IRE1α functions as a sensor for ER stress, initiating a cascade of signaling events that help restore cellular homeostasis. IRE1α′s location is crucial for oligomerization and trans-phosphorylation in response to stress, which enhances intrinsic kinase activity and leads to the transcription of genes aiding in protein folding and degradation. Through facilitating proper UPR functioning, IRE1α is essential for maintaining cellular health and preventing diseases associated with protein misfolding, such as neurodegenerative disorders and diabetes. Anti-IRE1α antibody (YB-17) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying these critical pathways and their implications in human health.
