Conclusions
In summary, MANF and CDNF are exceptional proteins with very different N- and C-terminal domains. The unique structure suggests their unique function. Especially MANF, as an ER stress-inducible genes, plays important roles during ER stress in cells. All of these findings provide insight into the mechanism of MANF and CDNF in protection of progressive diseases associated with ER dysfunction, such as PD and diabetes, which makes them a highly potential therapeutic agent.
