DERL2 Polyclonal Antibody

function:Functional component of endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) for misfolded lumenal glycoproteins, but not that of misfolded nonglycoproteins. May act by forming a channel that allows the retrotranslocation of misfolded glycoproteins into the cytosol where they are ubiquitinated and degraded by the proteasome. May mediate the interaction between VCP and the degradation substrate. In contrast to DERL1, it is not involved in the degradation of MHC class I heavy chains following infection by cytomegaloviruses. May play a role in cell proliferation.,induction:Up-regulated in response to ER stress via the ERN1-XBP1 pathway of the unfolded protein response (UPR).,similarity:Belongs to the derlin family.,subunit:Forms homo- and heterooligomers with DERL3 and, to a lesser extent, with DERL1. Interacts with SELS, VCP and EDEM1. Mediates association between VCP and EDEM1, as well as that between VCP and the degradation substrate. Interacts with the SEL1L/SYVN1 and VCP/SELS protein complexes.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous. Overexpressed in various hepatocarcinomas.,
