Anti-Calnexin (NT) Serum (56414-100ul)

Calnexin is a ~90 kDa integral protein of the endoplasmic reticulum; it is also referred to as IP90, p88 and p90. It consists of a 50 kDa N-terminal calcium-binding luminal domain, a single transmembrane helix, and a short acidic cytoplasmic tail. Its positively charged cytosolic residues ensure its retention in the endoplasmic reticulum. Calnexin together with calreticulin play a key role in glycoprotein folding by interacting with folding intermediates via their monoglycosylated glycans. Calnexin has also been shown to associate with the major histocompatability complex class I heavy chains, partial complexes of the T cell receptor, and B cell surface immuno- globulin.
