Hspa1l - heat shock protein 1-like

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and misfolded protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida. Located in cell body. Part of zona pellucida receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and limb segment. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Kawasaki disease; major depressive disorder; schizophrenia; systemic lupus erythematosus; and uveitis. Orthologous to human HSPA1L (heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 1 like). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
