Description
Product Characteristics: EDEM1(ER degradation-enhancing alpha-mannosidase-like 1) extracts misfolded glycoproteins, but not glycoproteins undergoing productive folding, from the calnexin cycle. It is directly involved in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) and targets misfolded glycoproteins for degradation in an N-glycan-dependent manner. It lacks mannosidase activity. EDEM1 is located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and is a single-pass type II membrane protein. EDEM1 belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 47 family.
Target Information: Extracts misfolded glycoproteins, but not glycoproteins undergoing productive folding, from the calnexin cycle. It is directly involved in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) and targets misfolded glycoproteins for degradation in an N-glycan-independent manner, probably by forming a complex with SEL1L. It lacks mannosidase activity
