Calreticulin
55-kDa High-Affinity Calcium Binding Protein | CAB-63 | CBP3 (Liver) | Calcium-Binding Protein-3 | Calregulin | ERp60 | HACBP | cC1qR Protein | 55 kDa High Affinity Calcium Binding Protein | Calcium Binding Protein 3
A multifunctional protein that is found primarily within membrane-bound organelles. In the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM it binds to specific N-linked oligosaccharides found on newly-synthesized proteins and functions as a MOLECULAR CHAPERONE that may play a role in PROTEIN FOLDING or retention and degradation of misfolded proteins. In addition calreticulin is a major storage form for CALCIUM and functions as a calcium-signaling molecule that can regulate intracellular calcium HOMEOSTASIS. |
