TMED9 mediates export of misfolded #prion proteins from the ER. This study shows that TMED9 also helps capture #misfolded GPI-anchored proteins that are released by calnexin in the ER and moved into the Golgi for degradation via the RESET pathway @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/44kURu5
TMED9 coordinates the clearance of misfolded GPI-anchored proteins out of the ER and into the Golgi

The p24-family member TMED9 mediates export of misfolded prion proteins from the ER. Here, the authors show that TMED9 has a new role in capturing misfolded GPI-anchored proteins that are released by calnexin within the ER and moved into the Golgi for subsequent degradation via the RESET pathway.

Many #neurological disorders arise from damage to #brain #cells due to a build-up of #misfolded or aggregated #proteins in the brain, like the tau protein and the #amyloid-beta protein.
