CALR (CRT or calreticulin) is a lectin specific for monoglucosylated N-linked glycans (17) that binds to the MHC class I molecule via its carbohydrate side chain. It also associates non-covalently with ERp57 in peptide-loading complex.

DCs, which are biased for MHCI cross-presentation, were enriched in Tap1, Tap2, calreticulin, calnexin, Sec61, ERp57, ERAAP, as well as cystatin B and C, all of which are involved in MHCI presentation or inhibition of enzymes that process peptides
PMID:14508489
Together with TAP, tapasin, calreticulin, ERp57 and the heavy chain of MHC class I were all detected in purified early phagosomes by western blotting

CALR (CRT or calreticulin) is released by dying tumor cells and acts as eat-me signal. It acts via CD91 (LRP1) and initiates clearance of viable or apoptotic cells.
