Function

ERp29 is a reticuloplasmin, a protein which resides in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The protein shows sequence similarity to the protein disulfide-isomerase family.[2] However, it lacks the thioredoxin motif characteristic of this family, suggesting that this protein does not function as a disulfide isomerase.[2] The protein dimerizes and is thought to play a role in the processing of secretory proteins within the ER. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.[1]
