Recombinant Human Endoplasmin (HSP90B1), Truncated

Uniprot Id

P14625

Target Species

Human

Target Name

HSP90B1

Target Full Name

Endoplasmin

Target Function

Molecular chaperone that functions in the processing and transport of secreted proteins. When associated with CNPY3, required for proper folding of Toll-like receptors. Functions in endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation (ERAD). Has ATPase activity. May participate in the unfolding of cytosolic leaderless cargos (lacking the secretion signal sequence) such as the interleukin 1/IL-1 to facilitate their translocation into the ERGIC (endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment) and secretion; the translocation process is mediated by the cargo receptor TMED10.

Target Subcellular Location

Endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen. Melanosome.

Target Protein Families

Heat shock protein 90 family

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of a family of adenosine triphosphate(ATP)-metabolizing molecular chaperones with roles in stabilizing and folding other proteins. The encoded protein is localized to melanosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum. Expression of this protein is associated with a variety of pathogenic states, including tumor formation. There is a microRNA gene located within the 5' exon of this gene. There are pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 1 and 15.
