Related Product Information for anti-CANX antibody

Calnexin and Calregulin (also called calreticulin) are calcium-binding proteins that are localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, Calnexin to the membrane and Calregulin to the lumen. Calnexin is a type I membrane protein that interacts with newly synthesized glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. It may play a role in assisting with protein assembly and in retaining unassembled protein subunits in the endoplasmic reticulum. Calregulin has both low- and high-affinity calcium-binding sites. Neither Calnexin nor Calregulin contains the calcium-binding "E-F hand" motif found in calmodulins. Calnexin and Calregulin are important for the maturation of glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and appear to bind many of the same proteins.

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 different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2018]

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.
