== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PDIA1_HUMAN PDIA1_HUMAN] This multifunctional protein catalyzes the formation, breakage and rearrangement of disulfide bonds. At the cell surface, seems to act as a reductase that cleaves disulfide bonds of proteins attached to the cell. May therefore cause structural modifications of exofacial proteins. Inside the cell, seems to form/rearrange disulfide bonds of nascent proteins. At high concentrations, functions as a chaperone that inhibits aggregation of misfolded proteins. At low concentrations, facilitates aggregation (anti-chaperone activity). May be involved with other chaperones in the structural modification of the TG precursor in hormone biogenesis. Also acts a structural subunit of various enzymes such as prolyl 4-hydroxylase and microsomal triacylglycerol transfer protein MTTP.<ref>PMID:10636893</ref> <ref>PMID:12485997</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
As a first step in dissecting the structure of human protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), the structure of a fragment corresponding to the first 120 residues of its sequence has been determined using heteronuclear multidimensional NMR techniques. As expected from its primary structure homology, the fragment has the thioredoxin fold. Similarities and differences in their structures help to explain why thioredoxins are reductants, whereas PDI is an oxidant of protein thiol groups. The results confirm that PDI has a modular, multidomain structure, which will facilitate its structural and functional characterization.
