HSP70 — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C02F1480, symbol HSP70, on asparagus chromosome 2 encodes a member of the heat shock 70 protein family, a molecular chaperone with ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding, heat shock protein binding, and protein folding chaperone functions. The gene is associated with response to stress, heat, and virus, as well as protein refolding, the ERAD pathway, the ER unfolded protein response, steroidogenesis, progesterone anabolism, lipid metabolism, and homeostasis. It has also been connected to memory. The encoded protein localises to the cytoplasm, nucleus, membrane, chloroplast membrane, ER lumen, ER chaperone complex, mediator complex, and axonemal central pair projection.
