Gene: HSPA8 (heat shock 70kDa protein 8) Homo sapiens

Symbol:

HSPA8

Name:

heat shock 70kDa protein 8

Description:

This gene encodes a member of the heat shock protein 70 family, which contains both heat-inducible and constitutively expressed members. This protein belongs to the latter group, which are also referred to as heat-shock cognate proteins. It functions as a chaperone, and binds to nascent polypeptides to facilitate correct folding. It also functions as an ATPase in the disassembly of clathrin-coated vesicles during transport of membrane components through the cell. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

Type:

protein-coding

RefSeq Status:

REVIEWED
