Kenji Kohno - Genetic Mutations

Author Information

Kenji Kohno is a distinguished researcher affiliated with the Laboratory of Molecular and Cell Genetics at the Graduate School of Biological Sciences, Nara Institute of Science and Technology, located in Nara, Japan. His work primarily focuses on molecular and cell genetics, contributing significantly to the understanding of cellular mechanisms and genetic regulation.

Research Contributions

Kenji Kohno has made substantial contributions to the field of genetics, with a focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular stress responses and genetic regulation. His research includes exploring the ADP-binding kinase region of Ire1 and its role in endoplasmic reticulum stress, as well as investigating the functional heterogeneity of pancreatic beta cells. Additionally, his work on the IRE1–XBP1 pathway provides insights into oxidative proinsulin folding in pancreatic β cells, and he has developed transgenic mouse models to study genetic recombination. His efforts are pivotal in advancing the understanding of ribosome collision and liver injury mechanisms through studies on XBP1 and IRE1α.

Aliases

Kenji Kohno is also known in academic circles by several aliases, including K Kohno and K. Kohno. These variations are commonly used in his published works and citations.
