Recombinant Human Heat shock protein beta-11 (HSPB11)

Uniprot Id

Q9Y547

Target Species

Human

Target Name

IFT25

Target Full Name

Intraflagellar transport protein 25 homolog

Target Function

Component of the IFT complex B required for sonic hedgehog/SHH signaling. May mediate transport of SHH components: required for the export of SMO and PTCH1 receptors out of the cilium and the accumulation of GLI2 at the ciliary tip in response to activation of the SHH pathway, suggesting it is involved in the dynamic transport of SHH signaling molecules within the cilium. Not required for ciliary assembly. Its role in intraflagellar transport is mainly seen in tissues rich in ciliated cells such as kidney and testis. Essential for male fertility, spermiogenesis and sperm flagella formation. Plays a role in the early development of the kidney. May be involved in the regulation of ureteric bud initiation.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell projection, cilium.

Target Protein Families

IFT25 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Detected in placenta.

Target Synonyms

Chromosome 1 open reading frame 41; Heat shock protein beta-11; HSB11_HUMAN; Hspb11; HSPCO34; IFT25; Placental protein 25; PP25

Target Background

Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in kidney development and spermatogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within animal organ development; left/right axis specification; and skeletal system development. Predicted to be located in ciliary tip. Predicted to be part of intraciliary transport particle B. Predicted to be active in centrosome and cilium.
