The 78 kDa glucose regulated protein (GRP78) as a potential treatment predictive biomarker and therapeutic target in colorectal cancer adjuvant chemotherapy
2014-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Glucose-regulated protein 78-kDa (GRP78) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident molecular chaperone that is essential for correct protein folding and assembly in the ER lumen. Micro-environmental stress and a requirement for increased protein synthesis, typical of solid tumours, leads to a disruption of ER homeostasis, and accumulation of misfolded proteins. The ability of GRP78 to dissociate from...
