Abstract
Irreversible perturbations in the homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are thought to lead to apoptosis and cell loss in a number of important human diseases, including Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, and type 2 diabetes. However, the exact mechanisms that lead from ER stress to cell death remain incompletely understood. Recent work has shown that the BCL-2 family of proteins plays a central role in regulating this form of cell death, both locally at the ER and from a distance at the mitochondrial membrane.
