LMAN1 Proteins and Enzymes

Protein trafficking along the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus occurs by vesicular transport between membranous compartments. LMAN1 is a mannose-specific lectin transport receptor protein which cycles between the ER and the Golgi complex. LMAN1 is involved in intracellular transport of many glycoproteins. LMAN1 is useful in studying mechanisms underlying protein trafficking early in the secretory pathway.
