| Description | ERp29 ( ) is a ubiquitously expressed endoplasmic reticulum protein, and is involved in the processes of protein maturation and protein secretion in this organelle [ , ]. The protein exists as a homodimer, with each monomer being composed of two domains. The N-terminal domain featured in this family is organised into a thioredoxin-like fold that resembles the a domain of human protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) []. However, this domain lacks the C-X-X-C motif required for the redox function of PDI; it is therefore thought that the function of ERp29 is similar to the chaperone function of PDI []. The N-terminal domain is exclusively responsible for the homodimerisation of the protein, without covalent linkages or additional contacts with other domains [].The Drosophila homologue, Wind, is the product of windbeutel, an essential gene in the development of dorsal-ventral patterning. Wind is required for correct targeting of Pipe, a Golgi-resident type II transmembrane protein with homology to 2-O-sulfotransferase [ ]. |
