    basic FUNCTION
  • stabilizing preexistent proteins against aggregation
  • mediating the folding of newly translated polypeptides in the cytosol as well as within organelles
  • being able to recognize nonnative conformations of other proteins
  • involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway through interaction with the AU-rich element RNA-binding protein 1
  • blocking heat-induced apoptosis primarily by inhibiting Bax activation via the inhibition of stress-induced JNK activation
  • acting upstream of the mitochondria to inhibit Fas-mediated apoptosis
  • protecting GATA-1 from caspase-mediated proteolysis
  • extracellular HSPBP1 and HSPA1A synergistically activate epidermal growth factor receptor
  • playing an essential role in blocking inflammation and preventing insulin resistance in the context of genetic obesity or high-fat feeding
  • has an essential role in ERBB2-induced tumorigenesis by regulating oncogene-induced senescence pathways
  • role for the HSPA1A-PARK2 axis in the regulation of muscle insulin sensitivity

    small molecule nucleotide,
  • ATP
  • protein
  • SOX9 in chondrocytes and testicular cell lines
  • interacting with TSC2
  • interaction with HNRPD
  • binding extended peptide segments with a net hydrophobic character exposed by polypeptides during translation and membrane translocation, or following stress-induced damage
  • binding to ERN1 enhances ERN1/XBP1 signaling at the ER and inhibits ER stress-induced apoptosis
  • HSPA1A stabilizes the WASF3 protein
  • interacts with ATP2A1 to preserve its function under conditions of stress, ultimately contributing to the decreased muscle degeneration seen with HSPA1A upregulation
  • HSPA1A and CLEC14A interact on endothelial cells and this interaction regulates HSPA1A-induced angiogenesis
  • HSPA1A and M6PR negatively regulated APP processing and Abeta production
