HSP90AB1 heat shock protein 90 alpha family class B member 1

Gene ID: 3326, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HSP84; HSPC2; HSPCB; D6S182; HSP90B

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the heat shock protein 90 family; these proteins are involved in signal transduction, protein folding and degradation and morphological evolution. This gene encodes the constitutive form of the cytosolic 90 kDa heat-shock protein and is thought to play a role in gastric apoptosis and inflammation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes have been identified on multiple chromosomes. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]
