Endoplasmic Reticulum Proteomics Services
Endoplasmic Reticulum Proteomics Services refers to a high-resolution mass spectrometry-based service combined with cell component separation techniques to systematically identify, quantify, and annotate proteins located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This service covers ER membrane proteins, lumenal proteins, and their interacting protein complexes. It also reveals the expression profiles, post-translational modification states, and dynamic changes of key molecules involved in ER stress-related pathways.

ER is the largest membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells, playing a key role in processes such as protein folding and processing, lipid metabolism, calcium ion storage, and maintaining cellular homeostasis. As a central hub in cellular stress response, ER dysfunction is closely linked to a variety of pathological conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, cancer, and inflammatory disorders. Studying the ER proteome can reveal its crucial role in cellular homeostasis, signal transduction, inter-organellar interactions, and disease mechanisms. With the development of high-resolution mass spectrometry and subcellular separation techniques, ER proteomics has become an essential tool for cellular function systems analysis and precision medicine research.
Leveraging advanced chromatography and mass spectrometry platforms, MtoZ Biolabs offers Endoplasmic Reticulum Proteomics Services to systematically analyze the composition, expression dynamics, and post-translational modifications of ER proteins. This service aids researchers in exploring key biological processes such as protein folding, transport, and ER stress. Additionally, MtoZ Biolabs can provide research on interactions between the ER and other cellular structures, such as the ER-plasma membrane interaction or the ER-Golgi complex interaction.
Analysis Workflow
The general workflow of Endoplasmic Reticulum Proteomics Services is as follows:
