Recombinant Human Heat shock protein 75 kDa, mitochondrial (TRAP1)

Uniprot Id

Q12931

Target Species

Human

Target Name

TRAP1

Target Full Name

Heat shock protein 75 kDa, mitochondrial

Target Function

Chaperone that expresses an ATPase activity. Involved in maintaining mitochondrial function and polarization, downstream of PINK1 and mitochondrial complex I. Is a negative regulator of mitochondrial respiration able to modulate the balance between oxidative phosphorylation and aerobic glycolysis. The impact of TRAP1 on mitochondrial respiration is probably mediated by modulation of mitochondrial SRC and inhibition of SDHA.

Target Subcellular Location

Mitochondrion. Mitochondrion inner membrane. Mitochondrion matrix.

Target Protein Families

Heat shock protein 90 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Found in skeletal muscle, liver, heart, brain, kidney, pancreas, lung, placenta and bladder. Expression is highly reduced in bladder cancer and renal cell carcinoma specimens compared to healthy tissues, but it is increased in other type of tumors.

Target Research Area

Others

Target Synonyms

Heat shock protein 75 kDa; Heat shock protein 75 kDa, mitochondrial; HSP 75; HSP75; HSP90L; mitochondrial; TNF receptor associated protein 1; TNFR-associated protein 1; TRAP-1; Trap1; TRAP1_HUMAN; Tumor necrosis factor type 1 receptor-associated protein

Target Background

This gene encodes a mitochondrial chaperone protein that is member of the heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) family. The encoded protein has ATPase activity and interacts with tumor necrosis factor type I. This protein may function in regulating cellular stress responses. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
