... One specific mutation, called P56S-VAPB, causes SMAFK and one type of inherited ALS. This mutation produces a malfunctioning VAPB protein that can cause cell death due to stress from a process called the unfolded protein response. Unfolded protein response leads to the accumulation of unfolded, or incompletely constructed, proteins in the cell. ...
