Abstract excerpt
Plasma cells can synthesize and secrete thousands of Ig molecules per second, which are folded and assembled in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are likely to place unusually high demands on the resident chaperones and folding enzymes. We have discovered a new resident ER protein (pERp1) that is a component of the BiP chaperone complex. PERp1 is substantially up-regulated during B to plasma cell differentiation...
