Function
Calcium-binding chaperone that promotes folding, oligomeric assembly and quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) via the calreticulin/calnexin cycle. This lectin interacts transiently with almost all of the monoglucosylated glycoproteins that are synthesized in the ER. Interacts with the DNA-binding domain of NR3C1 and mediates its nuclear export.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Endoplasmic reticulum lumen; Cytoplasm, cytosol; Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix; Cell surface; Sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen; Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle, Cortical granule; Cytolytic granule
Tissue Specificity: In blastocyst expressed in all blastomeres (at protein level). In embryos, expressed in spleen, kidney, liver, fat, muscle, ovary, granulosa cells and cumulus cells
