About HSPA12B

Cytogenetic location: 20p13 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 20:3,732,685-3,753,111 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 193 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Broad expression in fat (RPKM 15.5), spleen (RPKM 11.6) and 19 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene contains an atypical heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) ATPase domain and is therefore a distant member of the mammalian HSP70 family. This gene may be involved in susceptibility to atherosclerosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
