Abstract excerpt
Glucose-regulated protein 94 (GRP94) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone for which only few client proteins and no cofactors are known and whose mode of action is unclear. To decipher the mode of GRP94 action in vivo, we exploited our finding that GRP94 is necessary for the production of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-II and developed a cell-based functional assay. Grp94(-/-) cells are hypersensitive to...
