EIF2AK3 and Alzheimer disease: There is now considerable evidence suggesting that AD brain display increased markers of UPR (Hoozemans et al., 2009; Hetz and Saxena, 2017), and that at least the PERK (Ma et al., 2013) and IRE-1a (Lourenco et al., 2013; Duran-Aniotz et al., 2017) branches of UPR are involved in memory defects in AD mice.
