Function
- co-chaperone that stimulates HSP90 ATPase activity
- may affect a step in the endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi trafficking
- interacts with HSPCA/HSP90 & with the cytoplasmic tail of the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV G)
- interacts with GCH1
- interacts with SRPK1
Structure
belongs to the AHA1 family
Compartment
- cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum
- may transiently interact with the endoplasmic reticulum
Expression
- expressed in many tissues, including brain, heart, skeletal muscle & kidney
- epressed at lower levels in liver & placenta
- induced by heat shock & treatment with the HSP90 inhibitor 17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17AAG)
