Rabbit Anti-KDEL Receptor antibody
Retention of resident soluble proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is achieved in both yeast and animal cells by their continual retrieval from the cis-Golgi, or a pre-Golgi compartment. Sorting of these proteins is dependent on a SLCterminal tetrapeptide signal, usually lys-asp-glu-leu (KDEL) in animal cells, and his-asp-glu-leu (HDEL) in S. cerevisiae. This process is mediated by a receptor that recognizes, and binds the tetrapeptide-containing protein, and returns it to the ER. In yeast, the sorting receptor encoded by a single gene, ERD2, which is a seven-transmembrane protein. Unlike yeast, several human homologs of the ERD2 gene, constituting the KDEL receptor gene family, have been described. The protein encoded by this gene was the first member of the family to be identified, and it encodes a protein structurally and functionally similar to the yeast ERD2 gene product.
Function:
Required for the retention of luminal endoplasmic reticulum resident proteins via vesicular recycling. This receptor recognizes the SLCterminal K-D-E-L motif. COPI-coated transport intermediates, either in the form of round vesicles or as tubular processes, mediate retrograde traffic of the KDEL receptor-ligand complexes. Also required for normal vesicular traffic through the Golgi.
Subunit:
Upon ligand binding the receptor oligomerizes and interacts with components of the transport machinery such as ARFGAP1 and ARF1.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasmic vesicle, COPI-coated vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylation by PKA at Ser-209 is required for endoplasmic reticulum retention function.
Similarity:
Belongs to the ERD2 family.
