Abstract excerpt
Major histocompatibility complex-I-β2m dimers (MHC-I) bind peptides derived from intracellular proteins, enabling the immune system to distinguish between normal cells and those expressing pathogen-derived or mutant proteins. The peptides bind to MHC-I in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and this binding is facilitated by the peptide loading complex (PLC), which contains calreticulin (CRT). CRT associates with...
