Function
Co-chaperone for HSP/HSP70 proteins. It functions as a nucleotide-exchange factor promoting the release of ADP from HSP70, thereby activating HSP70-mediated protein refolding. Has an essential role in maintaining proteostasis at junctional membrane complexes (JMC), where it may function as a scaffold between the HSPA8 chaperone and JMC proteins enabling correct, HSPA8-dependent JMC protein folding.
Biological Context
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in the heart
Disease Association: Cardiomyopathy, dilated, 2F (CMD2F) : A form of dilated cardiomyopathy, a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature death. CMD2F is an autosomal recessive, early-onset form. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
