Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and its superfamilies are mainly endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident proteins with essential roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis, via thiol oxidation/reduction cycles, chaperoning, and isomerization of client proteins. Since PDIs play an important role in ER homeostasis, their upregulation supports cell survival and they are found in a variety of cancer types. Despite the fact that the importance of PDI to tumorigenesis remains to be understood, it is emer ...[more]
