Hspa4 - heat shock protein 4

Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chaperone-mediated protein complex assembly; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and protein insertion into mitochondrial outer membrane. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; extracellular exosome; and lipid droplet. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in early tubule; female associated reproductive structure; male associated reproductive structure; ovary; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Chagas disease. Orthologous to human HSPA4 (heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
