Biological function summary
GRP94 influences the stability of many secretory and cell-surface proteins. It forms part of a multi-protein complex that stabilizes client proteins and assists their proper folding. GRP94 is essential for the maturation of proteins involved in the immune response including immunoglobulins and integrins. Overexpression of GRP94 has been noted in various cancers where it supports the folding of proteins required for tumor growth and survival.
Pathways
GRP94 is an important element of the protein folding quality control mechanism within the endoplasmic reticulum. It functions in coordination with other chaperones like BiP and calnexin within the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway. The UPR pathway is essential during stress conditions where increased protein synthesis occurs. GRP94 also contributes to calcium homeostasis and directly interacts with proteins like integrins affecting cell adhesion and motility.
