Abstract
The conformational stability of calreticulin was investigated. Apparent unfolding temperatures (Tm) increased from 31°C at pH 5 to 51°C at pH 9, but electrophoretic analysis revealed that calreticulin oligomerized instead of unfolding. Structural analyses showed that the single C-terminal α-helix was of major importance to the conformational stability of calreticulin.
