DescriptionAnti-Calnexin Antibody
Alternate Names
  • Calnexin
  • IP90
  • Major histocompatibility complex class I antigen-binding protein p88
  • p90
Background InformationCalnexin is a Ca++ binding protein found in ER transmembranes that binds to specific n-linked oligosaccharides found on newly synthesized proteins. Calnexin associates with the ER membrane phosphoglycoprotein, signal sequence receptor SSRμ, and has been identified as the ER protein associated with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chain and with the T-cell receptor and membrane immunoglobulin before assembly of these multimeric complexes. Hence, calnexin may represent a molecular chaperone in the ER membrane that is selective for incompletely folded oligomeric membrane proteins newly translocated to the ER.

Antibody TypePolyclonal Antibody
Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a member of the calnexin family of molecular chaperones. The encoded protein is a calcium-binding, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein that interacts transiently with newly synthesized N-linked glycoproteins, facilitating protein folding and assembly. It may also play a central role in the quality control of protein folding by retaining incorrectly folded protein subunits within the ER for degradation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
Gene Symbol
  • CANX
Purification MethodAffinity Purfied
UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: Calcium-binding protein that interacts with newly synthesized glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. It may act in assisting protein assembly and/or in the retention within the ER of unassembled protein subunits. It seems to play a major role in the quality control apparatus of the ER by the retention of incorrectly folded proteins.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Melanosome. Note: Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV.

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the calreticulin family.
