PDIA2

Function

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, two TRX-like domains and a C-terminal ER-retention sequence. The protein plays a role in the folding of nascent proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum by forming disulfide bonds through its thiol isomerase, oxidase, and reductase activity. The encoded protein also possesses estradiol-binding activity and can modulate intracellular estradiol levels. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2017].

gollark: Not all religions say "be peaceful and not mean to each other", though?
gollark: I mean, if you believe Religion 1 and believe that everyone who believes Religion 2 will go to hell and suffer forever, then you obviously don't want Religion 2 to spread.
gollark: They're pretty rational if you actually believe your religion is true, though.
gollark: Looking at religious conflicts probably doesn't require knowing about all the deep details of the religions involved, because people do tribalism and probably do not meaningfully care about the actual underlying point.
gollark: You can just study history, though.
