Abstract excerpt
ERGIC-53 is a type I transmembrane lectin facilitating the efficient export of a subset of secretory glycoproteins from the endoplasmic reticulum. Previous results have shown that ERGIC-53 is present as reduction-sensitive homo-oligomers, i.e. as a balanced mixture of disulfide-linked hexamers and dimers, with the two cysteine residues located close to the transmembrane domain playing a crucial role in...
