CALNEXIN

calnexin: translation

Calcium-binding lectin-like protein (67 kD, 592 residues) of endoplasmic reticulum that couples glycosylation of newly synthesized proteins with their folding. Calnexin and calreticulin act together as chaperones for newly synthesized proteins and prevent ubiquitinylation and proteosomal degradation. Can be phosphorylated by Casein Kinase II.
