1. A method of liberating deleterious glycosylation-defective misfolded proteins that accumulate in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of a subject's cells that are associated with and/or causative of a disease or disorder in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising:
administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a Sarco/ER ATPase (SERCA) inhibitor, wherein the SERCA inhibitor induces unconventional secretory pathway transport of aggregated glycosylation-defective protein from endoplasmic reticulum of cells of the subject.
