Depositor Comments

Avoid overexpression. Low expressing cells are best for imaging. High expression leads to protein aggregation in the nuclear envelope. See supplementary data for original paper.
This mutant can not bind client proteins.
Do NOT use this as an ER marker. BiP is a functional protein and significantly impacts the ER environment increasing stress resistance. Use ER-GFP if you simply want a marker for the ER when imaging cells.
