Mechanisms of translocation of ER chaperones to the cell surface and immunomodulatory roles in cancer and autoimmunity

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones (e.g. calreticulin, heat shock proteins and isomerases) perform a multitude of functions within the ER. However, many of these chaperones can translocate to the cytosol and eventually the surface of cells, particularly during ER stress induced by e.g. drugs, UV...
