| Description | HSPA9 is part of the heat shock protein 70 family which contains both heat-inducible and constitutively expressed members that are also called heat-shock cognate proteins. HSPA9 encodes a heat-shock cognate protein that is involved in the control of cell proliferation and acts as a chaperone. HSPA9 was restricted to chromosome 5, band q31, a region that is often deleted in myeloid leukemias and myelodysplasia (MDS), making it a candidate tumor suppressor gene, which is consistent with the biological function of its murine homologue. HSPA9 supresses nuclear translocation, transcriptional activation, and control of centrosome-duplication functions of p53 Synonyms: Mortalin, GRP75, MOT2, GSPA9B, PBP74, MOT-2, MTHSP75, Stress-70 protein mitochondrial, 75 kDa glucose-regulated protein, GRP 75, Heat shock 70 kDa protein 9, Peptide-binding protein 74, MOT, HSPA9, HSPA9B, CSA, MGC4500 |
