Quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ensures that only properly folded proteins are retained in the cell through recognition and degradation of misfolded or unassembled proteins. EDEM3 belongs to a group of proteins that accelerate degradation of misfolded glycoproteins in the ER (Hirao et al., 2006 [PubMed 16431915]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],domain:Contains a protease-associated domain (PA) of unknown function.,function:Involved in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). Accelerates the glycoprotein ERAD by proteasomes. This process depends on mannose-trimming from the N-glycans. Seems to have alpha 1,2-mannosidase activity.,PTM:N-glycosylated.,similarity:Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 47 family.,similarity:Contains 1 PA (protease associated) domain.,
