ER degradation-enhancing alpha-mannosidase-like protein 2
Definition:
Involved in the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway that targets misfolded glycoproteins for degradation in an N-glycan-dependent manner. May initiate ERAD by promoting the first mannose trimming step of ERAD substrates, from Man9GlcNAc2 to Man8GlcNAc2. Seems to recognize and bind to exposed hydrophobic regions in target proteins (By similarity).
