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.

Do NOT use this as an ER marker. BiP is a functional protein and significantly impacts the ER environment increasing stress resistance. Use ER-mCherry if you simply want a marker for the ER when imaging cells.
