Hspa9 - heat shock protein 9

Enables enzyme binding activity. Involved in iron-sulfur cluster assembly; negative regulation of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation; and negative regulation of hemopoiesis. Acts upstream of or within protein export from nucleus. Located in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in blastocyst-stage conceptus; early embryo; germ cell of gonad; heart; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease and autosomal dominant sideroblastic anemia 4. Orthologous to human HSPA9 (heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 9).
