Activity summary

The protein HSPBAP1 also known as HSPB1-associated protein 1 acts mechanically by interacting with small heat shock proteins particularly HSPB1. It is a polypeptide with a molecular weight of approximately 51 kDa. HSPBAP1 expresses in various tissues but its presence seems high in kidney and testis. This protein has a noted role in regulating the function and stability of its partner proteins through these interactions.

Biological function summary

HSPBAP1 contributes to the modulation of cell stress responses. It is a part of protein complexes that include small heat shock proteins. These complexes participate in maintaining cellular homeostasis by preventing aggregation and misfolding of proteins under stress conditions. HSPBAP1 involvement here reflects its importance in managing oxidative stress and maintaining normal cellular operations particularly in response to environmental changes.

Pathways

Interactions involving HSPBAP1 influence cell signaling pathways like the apoptosis pathway and stress response pathways. For instance HSPBAP1 interacts with proteins such as HSPB1 and plays a role in apoptosis regulation through modulating this key stress sensor. Furthermore it interacts with pathways that govern protein quality control within cells targeting misfolded proteins for refolding or degradation thereby impacting cellular stress resilience.

Associated diseases and disorders

Research suggests links between HSPBAP1 and certain cancers as well as neurodegenerative diseases. Its interactions impact pathways associated with cell death and survival potentially influencing cancer progression. The link to HSPB1 a known player in stress response and cell survival may elucidate connections to cancer. Additionally misregulation of protein homeostasis associated with HSPBAP1 could contribute to conditions requiring efficient protein folding such as neurodegenerative disorders. The understanding of these interactions provides valuable insights into the protein's role in disease mechanisms.
