Background:

CHAC1 (ChaC, cation transport regulator homolog 1 (E. coli)) is a 264 amino acid cytoplasmic protein that belongs to the ChaC family. Induced by chemical activators of the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway, including DTT, tunicamycin and thapsigargin, CHAC1 is a pro-apoptotic member of this pathway and may mediate the pro-apoptotic effects of the ATF4-ATF3-DDIT3/CHOP cascade. Overexpression of CHAC1 may lead to an increase in apoptosis, while suppression of CHAC1 results in subdued apoptosis. Existing as two alternatively spliced isoforms, the gene encoding CHAC1 maps to human chromosome 15q15.1. Encoding more than 700 genes, chromosome 15 is made up of approximately 106 million base pairs and comprises about 3% of the human genome. Angelman, Prader-Willi and Marfan syndromes are associated with loss of function or deletion of genes that are encoded by chromosome 15.
