Abstract excerpt
We previously demonstrated that malectin associates with ribophorin I, which is a subunit of oligosaccharyltransferase in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). When malectin and ribophorin I are overexpressed in the ER, secretion of an α1-antitrypsin (AT) variant whose folding is defective, termed null Hong Kong (AT(NHK)), is decreased. To confirm whether the interaction between malectin and ribophorin I is involved in...
