Rabbit anti-Human PDIA6 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q15084

Target Species

Human

Target Name

PDIA6

Target Full Name

Protein disulfide-isomerase A6

Target Function

May function as a chaperone that inhibits aggregation of misfolded proteins. Negatively regulates the unfolded protein response (UPR) through binding to UPR sensors such as ERN1, which in turn inactivates ERN1 signaling. May also regulate the UPR via the EIF2AK3 UPR sensor. Plays a role in platelet aggregation and activation by agonists such as convulxin, collagen and thrombin.

Target Subcellular Location

Endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Cell membrane. Melanosome.

Target Protein Families

Protein disulfide isomerase family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in platelets (at protein level).

Target Synonyms

Endoplasmic reticulum protein 5; ER protein 5; ERp5; P5; Pdia6; PDIA6_HUMAN; Protein disulfide isomerase A6; Protein disulfide isomerase associated 6; Protein disulfide isomerase family A member 6; Protein disulfide isomerase P5; Protein disulfide isomerase related protein; Protein disulfide-isomerase A6; Thioredoxin domain containing 7 (protein disulfide isomerase); Thioredoxin domain containing protein 7 ; Thioredoxin domain-containing protein 7; TXNDC7

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the disulfide isomerase (PDI) family of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) proteins that catalyze protein folding and thiol-disulfide interchange reactions. The encoded protein has an N-terminal ER-signal sequence, two catalytically active thioredoxin (TRX) domains, a TRX-like domain, and a C-terminal ER-retention sequence. This protein inhibits the aggregation of misfolded proteins and exhibits both isomerase and chaperone activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
