Abstract excerpt
PiZ, a mutant human alpha 1-antitrypsin, is associated with liver and pulmonary disease and is characterized by defective secretion and accumulation of the protein in the endoplasmic reticulum. We tested the hypothesis that BiP (a protein that binds newly synthesized protein in the endoplasmic reticulum, prevents secretion of incorrectly folded protein, and solubilizes protein aggregates), could play a part in...
