Cysteine-rich with EGF like domains 2 (Creld2) has recently been identified as an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inducible gene in the context of skeletal dysplasia caused by mutant protein accumulating in the ER eliciting an unfolded protein response (UPR). Creld2 was originally implicated in ER stress following the treatment of Neuro2α cells with thapsigargin. Furthermore, the promoter of Creld2 contains an ER stress activating transcription factor ...
