Function
Has a pivotal role in cytoprotective cellular mechanisms triggered by oxygen deprivation. Promotes HSPA5/BiP-mediated ATP nucleotide exchange and thereby activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway in the presence of endoplasmic reticulum stress. May play a role as a molecular chaperone and participate in protein folding.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Endoplasmic reticulum lumen
Tissue Specificity: Highly expressed in tissues that contain well-developed endoplasmic reticulum and synthesize large amounts of secretory proteins. Highly expressed in liver and pancreas and lower expression in brain and kidney. Also expressed in macrophages within aortic atherosclerotic plaques, and in breast cancers
Disease Association: Immunodeficiency 59 and hypoglycemia (IMD59) : An autosomal recessive primary immunologic disorder characterized by combined immunodeficiency, granulocytopenia, B-cell and dendritic cell deficiency, recurrent septic infections of the respiratory tract, skin and mucous membranes, and disturbed glucose metabolism. [The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
