Calnexin （CNX） is a 67kDa integral protein of the endoplasmic reticulum （ER）. It consists of a large （50 kDa） N-terminal calcium-binding lumenal domain, a single transmembrane helix and a short （90 residues）, acidic cytoplasmic tail. Calnexin is a chaperone, characterized by assisting protein folding and quality control, ensuring that only properly folded and assembled proteins proceed further along the secretory pathway. It specifically acts to retain unfolded or unassembled N-linked glycoproteins in the ER. Calnexin binds only those N-glycoproteins that have GlcNAc2Man9Glc1 oligosaccharides. Calnexin associates with the protein folding enzyme ERp57 to catalyze glycoprotein specific disulfide bond formation and also functions as a chaperone for the folding of MHC class I α-chain in the membrane of the ER. A prolonged association of calnexin with mutant misfolded PMP22 known to cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease leads to the sequestration, degradation and inability of PMP22 to traffic to the Schwann cell surface for myelination.
