Defective proteins or functional proteins that are no longer needed can be degraded in the endoplasmic reticulum. In this study, Lopez-Serra et al.show that DERL3, which is involved in protein degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum, is aberrantly silenced in cancer, leading to activation of a glucose transporter and dysregulated glycolysis.
