UniProt functional annotation for P50503

UniProt code: P50503.

Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus.
 
Function: One HIP oligomer binds the ATPase domains of at least two HSC70 molecules dependent on activation of the HSC70 ATPase by HSP40. Stabilizes the ADP state of HSC70 that has a high affinity for substrate protein. Through its own chaperone activity, it may contribute to the interaction of HSC70 with various target proteins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7585962}.
 
Subunit: Homotetramer. Interacts with HSC70 as well as DNAJ homologs and HSP90. Interacts (via the C-terminus 302- 318 AA) with GRK5 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm.
Similarity: Belongs to the FAM10 family. {ECO:0000305}.
