Function

IRE1_YEAST Senses unfolded proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum via its N-terminal domain which leads to enzyme auto-activation. The active endoribonuclease domain splices HAC1 precursor mRNA to produce the mature form which then induces transcription of UPR target genes.^{[1] [2] [3]}
