Serine/threonine-protein kinase/endoribonuclease IRE1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ERN1 gene.[1][2]

The protein encoded by this gene is the ER to nucleus signalling 1 protein, a human homologue of the yeast Ire1 gene product. This protein possesses intrinsic kinase activity and an endoribonuclease activity and it is important in altering gene expression as a response to endoplasmic reticulum-based stress signals. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[2]

Interactions

ERN1 has been shown to interact with Heat shock protein 90kDa alpha (cytosolic), member A1.[3]
