| Application: | Protein Disulfide Isomerase from bovine liver has been used: • to study the functional role of PDI in parasite infection and the interaction between macrophage PDI and L. chagasi • in the in vitro translation reaction for the generation of disulfide bonds • in insulin-disulfide reduction assay and peptide binding assay • as a positive control in thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase activity assay |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) is mainly located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it assists in protein-folding and thiol-disulfide exchanges. It aids protein refolding in vitro allowing recombinant proteins to achieve their native state. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Protein Disulfide Isomerase(PDI) has the C-terminal ER retention sequence Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu. It has active, intracellular traffic to different cell compartments. PDI supports internalization of Chlamydia, cholera and diphtheria toxins in some hosts. PDI is required for Sindbis virus infection and aids in reducing HIV gp120 protein thiols. PDI facilitates formation of the correct disulfide bonds by promoting rapid reshuffling of disulfide pairings. |
