Term Name: protein folding in endoplasmic reticulum Search Ontology:
Synonyms:
  • oxidative protein folding
  • protein folding in ER
Definition: A protein folding process that takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Secreted, plasma membrane and organelle proteins are folded in the ER, assisted by chaperones and foldases (protein disulphide isomerases), and additional factors required for optimal folding (ATP, Ca2+ and an oxidizing environment to allow disulfide bond formation).
