Description

heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 5

Gene Summary

Enables misfolded protein binding activity and unfolded protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cAMP; cellular response to gamma radiation; and luteolysis. Acts upstream of or within response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Located in several cellular components, including dendritic shaft; neuronal cell body; and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Biomarker of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis; post-traumatic stress disorder; steatotic liver disease; transient cerebral ischemia; and ureteral obstruction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency. Orthologous to human HSPA5 (heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 5).
