HSP70 — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.6HG0621430 (HSP70) on barley chromosome 6H encodes a heat shock cognate 70 kDa protein, a member of the Hsp70 family with ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone, heat shock protein binding, protein folding chaperone, ATP hydrolase, and ATP binding activities. The gene is associated with protein refolding, the ERAD pathway, the unfolded protein response, response to virus, immune response, pollen tube growth, response to stress, innate immunity, response to heat, lipid metabolism, and response to thirst. The encoded protein localises to the ER lumen and chaperone complex, chloroplast membrane, membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Related genes in other species include BiP, BIP5, SCE70, HSP70, HSC-I, and HSC-2.
