Background: Calreticulin is a multifunctional protein. It acts as a main Ca(2+)-binding (storage) protein in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum. Calreticulin binds Ca2+ ions (a second messenger in signal transduction); rendering it inactive. The Ca2+ is bound with low affinity; but high capacity; and can be released on a signal. Located in storage compartments associated with the endoplasmic reticulum; calreticulin also binds to misfolded proteins and prevents them from being exported from the endoplasmic reticulum to the golgi apparatus. The amino terminus of calreticulin interacts with the DNA-binding domain of the glucocorticoid receptor and prevents the receptor from binding to its specific glucocorticoid response element. Calreticulin reduces the binding of androgen receptor to its hormone-responsive DNA element and inhibits androgen receptor and retinoic acid receptor transcriptional activities in vivo; as well as retinoic acid-induced neuronal differentiation. Therefore; calreticulin acts as a significant modulator of the regulation of gene transcription by nuclear hormone receptors.
