Calcineurin β protects brain after injury by activating the unfolded protein response

The Ca2+-dependent phosphatase, calcineurin (CN) is thought to play a detrimental role in damaged neurons; however, its role in astrocytes is unclear. In cultured astrocytes, CNβ expression increased after treatment with a sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase inhibitor, thapsigargin, and with oxy...
