Full name | | heat shock 70kDa protein 5 (glucose-regulated protein, 78kDa) |
Aliases | | ,BIP,FLJ26106,GRP78,MIF2, |
Gene summary | | The 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. |
