Calnexin, is a calcium binding type I integral membrane protein present mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum. It plays a pivotal role in quality control processes during protein synthesis and folding. Anti-calnexin antibody (diluted 1: 300) can be used in dual immunofluorescence staining to visualize TG2 transport.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Calnexin binds newly synthesized glycoproteins and misfolded proteins and is believed to play a critical role in quality control processes during protein synthesis and folding. Calnexin acts as a lectin-like chaperone that binds oligosaccharide residues of newly synthesized N-linked glycoproteins. Calnexin has been shown to be associated with several cell surface proteins, including major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chain, T-cell receptor (TCR), and B cell membrane immunoglobulin during translocation through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It also forms complexes with other resident ER proteins involved in Ca2+ -dependent retention of proteins.
