Anti-ERLEC1

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Endoplasmic reticulum lectin 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ERLEC1 gene. This gene encodes a resident endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein that functions in N-glycan recognition. This protein is thought to be involved in ER-associated degradation via its interaction with the membrane-associated ubiquitin ligase complex. It also functions as a regulator of multiple cellular stress-response pathways in a manner that promotes metastatic cell survival. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 21. Protein function: Probable lectin that binds selectively to improperly folded lumenal proteins. May function in endoplasmic reticulum quality control and endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) of both non- glycosylated proteins and glycoproteins. [The UniProt Consortium]
