HSP90B1

This gene encodes a member of a family of adenosine triphosphate(ATP)-metabolizing molecular chaperones with roles in;stabilizing and folding other proteins. The encoded protein is localized to melanosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum.;Expression of this protein is associated with a variety of pathogenic states, including tumor formation. There is a;microRNA gene located within the 5 exon of this gene. There are pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 1 and 15.
