| Description | ST13 is an adaptor protein (co-chaperone) that mediates the association of HSP70 and HSP90 and appears in early receptor complexes. ST13 plays a role in the assembly process of glucocorticoid receptor, which requires the assistance of multiple molecular chaperones. The expression of ST13 is downregulated in colorectal carcinoma tissue signifying that is candidate tumor suppressor gene. Through common binding to both Hsp70 and Hsp90, ST13 functions as an adaptor that can integrate Hsp70 and Hsp90 interactions. The expression of ST13 decreases in colorectal cancer tissue compared with that in adjacent normal tissue. ST13 is mostly expressed in colorectal epithelia and adenocarcinoma cells. ST13 functions to promote the efficiency of glucocorticoid receptor maturation in cells. The expression levels of the ST13 gene were significantly decreased in primary tumors compared with adjacent mucosa Synonyms: AAG2, SNC6, HSPABP, FAM10A1, FAM10A4, HSPABP1, ST-13, Hsc70-interacting protein, Suppression of tumorigenicity protein 13, Putative tumor suppressor ST13, Protein FAM10A1, Progesterone receptor-associated p48 protein, Renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-33, ST13, HIP, HOP, P48, PRO0786, FLJ27260, MGC129952 |
