Abstract excerpt
The process of quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum involves a variety of mechanisms which ensure that only correctly folded proteins enter the secretory pathway. Among these are conformation-screening mechanisms performed by molecular chaperones that assist in protein folding and prevent non-native (or misfolded) proteins from interacting with other misfolded proteins. Chaperones play a central role in...
