Artificial DnaJ Protein for protein production and conformational diseases

Abstract For secreted proteins, proper protein folding is essential not only for biological function but also for secretion itself. Proteins with folding problems are trapped in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are eventually degraded in the cytoplasm. In this study, we exploited co-expression of...

description Abstract For secreted proteins, proper protein folding is essential not only for biological function but also for secretion itself. Proteins with folding problems are trapped in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are eventually degraded in the cytoplasm.
