Gene: HSPBAP1

Alternate names for this Gene: PASS1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that binds to one of the small heat shock proteins, specifically hsp27. Hsp27 is involved with cell growth and differentiation. This encoded protein was found to be abnormally expressed in patients with intractable epilepsy, although how brain function is affected remains unknown.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3q21.1

Description of this Gene: HSPB1 associated protein 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
