Abstract excerpt
Folding of newly synthesized proteins within the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) is a rate-limiting step in protein secretion. Thus ER molecular chaperones and foldases have a major impact in determining the rate and yield of these crucial cellular processes. Calnexin is a key ER chaperone implicated in the folding, retention and targeting for degradation of proteins that go through the secretory pathway. Calnexin...
