Gene: HSPH1

Alternate names for this Gene: HSP105|HSP105A|HSP105B|NY-CO-25

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the heat shock protein 70 family of proteins. The encoded protein functions as a nucleotide exchange factor for the molecular chaperone heat shock cognate 71 kDa protein (Hsc70). In addition, this protein plays a distinct but related role as a holdase that inhibits the aggregation of misfolded proteins, including the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. Elevated expression of this protein has been observed in numerous human cancers.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 13

Location in Chromosome : 13q12.3

Description of this Gene: heat shock protein family H (Hsp110) member 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
