CALR and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: From the panel of the candidate biomarkers we validated 12 proteins (PRDX2, GSTO1, CLIC1, HSC70, CypA, PDI, ERp57, CALR, PA28a, IRAK4, FUBP1, ROA2) for the following reasons: they are also expressed in the central nervous system (CNS), they are associated with neurodegenerative processes, some of them specifically with ALS [11], [19]–[24], and are easily detectable by commercially available specific antibodies.
