How can you use “pek” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The Affymetrix website http://www.affymetrix.comwas searched using the terms 'PEK/PERK', 'GADD153' and the gene names for ER chaperones previously identified as being upregulated during an ER stress response [ 12 ] , and where they were represented by probe-sets on the U34 arrays, corresponding accession numbers were identified.
The first, the ER overload response, triggers the activation of the transcription factor NFkB and the subsequent upregulation of inflammatory proteins [ 13 ] . The second, the unfolded protein response (UPR) induces three divergent cellular events: (i) the activation of transcription factor ATF6 leading to the upregulation of ER chaperones such as protein disulfide isomerase, (ii) upregulation of the pro-apoptotic transcription factor GADD153 and (iii) suppression of protein synthesis via phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) by pancreatic eIF2α kinase (PEK/PERK, [ 11 12 ] ). Upregulation of the ER chaperones, GADD153 and PERK in response to a toxic insult would constitute direct evidence of an ER stress response.
