  • Title: [Calreticulin, Ca2+-binding chaperon of the endoplasmic reticulum].
    Author: Szperl M, Opas M.
    Journal: Postepy Biochem; 2005; 51(4):382-6. PubMed ID: 16676572.
    Abstract:
    The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a vital role in many cellular processes, including Ca2+ storage and release. Calreticulin is a Ca2+-binding chaperon residing in ER. The protein is a key component of the quality control pathways in ER. In the ER lumen, calreticulin performs two major functions, works as a chaperon and regulates Ca2+ homeostasis. In cardiac muscle, calreticulin plays an important role in cardiac development and pathology.
