Given the fact that the ER stress inducer PERK was more expressed in breast cancer cells lacking STARD7, we also look at levels of other ER stress downstream targets such as Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 2α (EIF2α), X box‐binding protein 1 (XBP1) and Activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4). The gene discussed is EIF2AK3; the disease is breast cancer.
