ERP27 has a distinct structure characterized by:
ERP27 plays a role in the unfolded protein response (UPR), a cellular stress response related to the ER. It specifically binds to unfolded proteins and may recruit other protein disulfide isomerases, such as PDIA3, to assist in protein folding. This binding is facilitated by a hydrophobic pocket in the C-terminal domain of ERP27 .
Human recombinant ERP27 is used in research to study its role in the ER and its interactions with other proteins. Understanding ERP27’s function and mechanisms can provide insights into the development of therapeutic strategies for diseases related to protein misfolding and ER stress.
