SYNONYMS
CALU, Crocalbin, IEF SSP 9302, FLJ90608, Calumenin.
INTRODUCTION
Calumenin is a calcium-binding protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of mammalian tissues which plays a role in ER functions as protein folding and sorting. Calumenin belongs to a family of multiple EF-hand proteins (CERC) that include reticulocalbin, ERC-55, and Cab45 and the product of this gene. Calumenin binds 7 calcium ions having low affinity and takes part in such ER functions as protein folding and sorting.
DESCRIPTION
Calumenin Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 297 amino acids (20-315) and having a molecular mass of 35kDa. Calumenin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
