function:Calcium-binding protein that interacts with newly synthesized glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. It may act in assisting protein assembly and/or in the retention within the ER of unassembled protein subunits. It seems to play a major role in the quality control apparatus of the ER by the retention of incorrectly folded proteins.,online information:Calnexin entry,similarity:Belongs to the calreticulin family.,subcellular location:Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV.,
