Hspa9 - heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 9

Enables chaperone binding activity; fibroblast growth factor binding activity; and heat shock protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to interleukin-1; response to folic acid; and response to thyroxine. Located in mitochondrion. Biomarker of Parkinsonism and brain ischemia. 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).
