UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: PDIA1_HUMAN (P07237)
Gene Name: P4HB
Synonyms: ERBA2L, PDI, PDIA1, PO4DB
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: This multifunctional protein catalyzes the formation, breakage and rearrangement of disulfide bonds. At the cell surface, seems to act as a reductase that cleaves disulfide bonds of proteins attached to the cell. May therefore cause structural modifications of exofacial proteins. Inside the cell, seems to form/rearrange disulfide bonds of nascent proteins. At high concentrations, functions as a chaperone that inhibits aggregation of misfolded proteins. At low concentrations, facilitates aggregation (anti-chaperone activity). May be involved with other chaperones in the structural modification of the TG precursor in hormone biogenesis. Also acts a structural subunit of various enzymes such as prolyl 4-hydroxylase and microsomal triacylglycerol transfer protein MTTP.

Protein Subcellular Localization: Endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Melanosome. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein (Potential). Note=Highly abundant. In some cell types, seems to be also secreted or associated with the plasma membrane, where it undergoes constant shedding and replacem
