Primary Identifier | MGI:1309463 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 110920 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; heat shock protein binding activity; and protein folding chaperone. Predicted to be involved in chaperone cofactor-dependent protein refolding and protein refolding. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in cytosol; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; sensory organ; and thymus. Orthologous to human HSPA13 (heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 13). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional allele in immune cells exhibit reduction in plasmablast, plasma cell, and antibodies induced LPS or sheep red blood cells, and reduced susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus.
