Gene: ERP44

Alternate names for this Gene: PDIA10|TXNDC4

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) family of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins. It has an inferred N-terminal signal peptide, a catalytically active thioredoxin (TRX) domain, two TRX-like domains and a C-terminal ER-retention sequence. This protein functions as a pH-regulated chaperone of the secretory pathway and likely plays a role in protein quality control at the endoplasmic reticulum - Golgi interface.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q31.1

Description of this Gene: endoplasmic reticulum protein 44

Type of Gene: protein-coding
