Calnexin is calcium-binding protein that interacts with newly synthesized glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. It may be involved in assisting protein assembly or in the retention within the ER of unassembled protein subunits. It seems to play a major role in the ER quality control apparatus via the retention of incorrectly folded proteins.GenScript Calnexin Antibody, pAb, Rabbit is developed in rabbit hosts using a KLH-coupled synthetic peptide from carboxyl terminal of human calnexin protein (Swiss Prot: P27824).

Target Information

Calnexin, also referred to as IP90, p88 and p90, is an approximately 90 kDa integral membrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Many resident ER proteins act as molecular chaperones and participate in the proper folding of polypeptides and their assembly into multisubunit proteins. Studies indicate that calnexin associates with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chains, partial complexes of the T cell receptor and B cell membrane immunoglobulin, but not with completed receptor complexes. It has been shown that calnexin is a chaperone that retains incompletely or improperly folded proteins in the ER. The sequence Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu (KDEL) or a closely related sequence, is present at the carboxy-terminus of soluble ER resident proteins such as GRP78 and GRP94 and protein disulfide isomerase. Integral membrane ER resident proteins, like calnexin, often lack this KDEL sequence but contain positively charged cytosolic residues that ensure ER retention. Calnexin contains a large ER luminal domain (461 amino acids), a transmembrane segment (22 amino acids), and a cytoplasmic tail (89 amino acids).
