Calreticulin
| Name: | Calreticulin |
| Description: | A multifunctional protein that is found primarily within membrane-bound organelles. In the endoplasmic reticulum it binds to specific N-linked oligosaccharides found on newly-synthesized proteins and functions as a molecular chaperone that may play a role in protein folding or retention and degradation of misfolded proteins. In addition calreticulin is a major storage form for calcium and functions as a calcium-signaling molecule that can regulate intracellular calcium homeostasis (MSH). |
| Synonym(s): | CRP55; Calregulin; Calreticulin precursor; ERp60; HACBP; grp60 |
| Has role: | Calcium Binding Protein |
