Function
Molecular calcium-binding chaperone promoting folding, oligomeric assembly and quality control in the ER via the calreticulin/calnexin cycle. This lectin may interact transiently with almost all of the monoglucosylated glycoproteins that are synthesized in the ER. Probably by controlling the folding of extracellular matrix protein unc-52/Perlecan, may play a role in the formation of fibrous organelles, a hemidesmosome-like structure attaching muscles to the epidermis.
