Description
Product Characteristics: HSPD1 is a member of the chaperonin family. This mitochondrial protein may function as a signaling molecule in the innate immune system. It is essential for the folding and assembly of newly imported proteins in the mitochondria. This gene encodes a member of the chaperonin family. The encoded mitochondrial protein may function as a signaling molecule in the innate immune system. This protein is essential for the folding and assembly of newly imported proteins in the mitochondria. This gene is adjacent to a related family member and the region between the 2 genes functions as a bidirectional promoter. Two pseudogenes, both located on chromosome 8, have been associated with this gene. Synonyms: Polyclonal HSPD1 antibody, Anti-HSPD1 antibody, heat shock 60kDa protein 1, chaperonin antibody, CPN60 antibody, GROEL antibody, HSP60 antibody, HSP65 antibody, HuCHA60 antibody, SPG13 antibody.
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the chaperonin family. The encoded mitochondrial protein may function as a signaling molecule in the innate immune system. This protein is essential for the folding and assembly of newly imported proteins in the mitochondria. This gene is adjacent to a related family member and the region between the 2 genes functions as a bidirectional promoter. Several pseudogenes have been associated with this gene. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene. Mutations associated with this gene cause autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia 13.
