DERL3 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.,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 DERL2 and, to a lesser extent, with DERL1. Interacts with VCP and EDEM1.,tissue specificity:Unlike DERL1 and DERL2, restricted to several tissues. Expressed at high levels in placenta, pancreas, spleen and small intestine.,
