| Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 193740 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables protein folding chaperone. Involved in lysosomal transport and protein folding. Acts upstream of or within DNA repair; response to heat; and telomere maintenance. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including 1-cell stage conceptus; crista ampullaris; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and vibrissa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Kawasaki disease; autoimmune disease of musculoskeletal system (multiple); cystic fibrosis; idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; and schizophrenia (multiple). Orthologous to human HSPA1A (heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 1A). PHENOTYPE: At the cellular level, mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired thermotolerance and increased sensitivity to heat stress-induced apoptosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
