Endocrinopathies in the Family of Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Storage Diseases: Disorders of Protein Trafficking and the Role of ER Molecular Chaperones*
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
From the studies described in this review, it is clear that structural information dictates not only the functional properties of exportable proteins, but also their ability to be transported in the intracellular secretory pathway. In ERSDs, the precise nature of the defect determines both the severity of the phenotype and the mode of inheritance. To our knowledge, all genetically inherited ERSDs are attributable...
