Abstract:Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane Complex protein 1 (EMC1), also named KIAA0090, was recently identified as part of a complex with six proteins (EMC1-EMC6) proposed to participate in the folding/maturation of membrane proteins, but the mechanisms remains unclear. High throughput studies reveal that EMC1 gene is up-regulated in many types of cancer and up-regulation correlates to poor survival rates. It has been known that there is a close relationship between proteins involved in the unfolded protein response (UP… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
