Calnexin (CANX) is a 67kDa transmembrane protein expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum. It is part of the lectin chaperone group. The gene ID of the protein is 821.
Specificity
Detects ~90 kDa.
Immunogen
A 19 residue synthetic peptide based on canine calnexin and the peptide coupled to KLH.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Calnexin (CANX) takes care of protein folding. It binds to the target proteins which have only one glucose residue and aids in their folding. When the protein is released from CANX, it is then trafficked to the Golgi apparatus for further modifications.

Nephrin, an important component of the podocyte filtration slit diaphragm, plays a key role in the maintenance of glomerular permselectivity. Mutations in nephrin lead to proteinuria and congenital nephrotic syndrome. Nephrin undergoes posttranslational modifications in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) prior
