Target Details for GRP78

Target: GRP78 (HSPA5) (Heat Shock 70kDa Protein 5 (Glucose-Regulated Protein, 78kDa) (HSPA5))

Alternative Name: HSPA5 / GRP78

Background: The HSP 70 family comprises four highly conserved proteins, HSP 70, HSC 70, GRP 75 and GRP 78, which serve a variety of roles. They act as molecular chaperones facilitating the assembly of multi-protein complexes, participate in the translocation of polypeptides across cell membranes and to the nucleus, and aid in the proper folding of nascent polypeptide chains. HSC 70, GRP 75 and GRP 78 are constitutively expressed in primate cells. HSP 70 expression is strongly induced in response to heat stress. HSP 70 and HSC 70, which are found in both the cytosol and nucleus of mammalian cells, play key roles in the cytosolic endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial import machinery. They are involved in chaperoning nascent polypeptide chains and in protecting cells against the accumulation of improperly folded proteins. GRP 78 is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, where it receives imported secretory proteins and is involved in the folding and translocation of nascent peptide chains. Research indicates that members of the HSP 70 family may act as force-generating motors, relying on the hydrolysis of ATP for their activity.Synonyms: 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein, BiP, Endoplasmic reticulum lumenal Ca(2+)-binding protein grp78, Heat shock 70 kDa protein 5, Immunoglobulin heavy chain-binding protein
