Abstract excerpt
A significant portion of murine hepatocyte beta-glucuronidase is maintained within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by complex formation with the esterase active site of the protein egasyn. The carboxyl-terminal propeptide of the precursor form of glucuronidase appears important in localization of glucuronidase to the ER since a naturally occurring mutation in it is associated with decreased levels of ER...
