Summary
Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; heat shock protein binding activity; and protein folding chaperone. Predicted to be involved in ERAD pathway; endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; and protein folding. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be part of endoplasmic reticulum chaperone complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum lumen; membrane; and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency. Orthologous to human HSPA5 (heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 5).
