Xport-A functions as a chaperone by stabilizing the first 5 transmembrane domains of Rhodopsin-1

C. J. Gaspar, J. C. Martins, M. N. Melo, T. N. Cordeiro, C. Adrain, P. M. Domingos

The paper proposes a model where Xport-A stabilizes the first 5 transmembrane domains of Rhodopsin-1 during its biosynthesis, acting as a chaperone but not affecting the full-length protein.
