NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the calnexin family of molecular chaperones. The encoded protein is a calcium-binding, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein that interacts transiently with newly synthesized N-linked glycoproteins, facilitating protein folding and assembly. It may also play a central role in the quality control of protein folding by retaining incorrectly folded protein subunits within the ER for degradation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
Calnexin: a calcium-binding protein of the calreticulin family. A type I membrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum .Interacts with newly synthesized glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. May act in assisting protein assembly and/or in the retention within the ER of unassembled protein subunits. It seems to play a major role in the quality control apparatus of the ER by the retention of incorrectly folded proteins.

Product Notes
The Rat CNX canx (Catalog #AAA764171) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA764171 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat CNX. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Calnexin, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
