Gene information for HSPA5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3309
Official gene symbolHSPA5
Full nameheat shock 70kDa protein 5 (glucose-regulated protein, 78kDa)
Aliases,BIP,FLJ26106,GRP78,MIF2,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family. It is localized in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and is involved in the folding and assembly of proteins in the ER. As this protein interacts with many ER proteins, it may play a key role in monitoring protein transport through the cell.
