Amino acids 571-704 of human TRAP1 were used as the immunogen for the TRAP1 antibody.
Heat shock protein 75 kDa, mitochondrial is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRAP1 gene. It is mapped to 16p13.3. This gene encodes a mitochondrial chaperone protein that is member of the heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) family. The encoded protein has ATPase activity and interacts with tumor necrosis factor type I. And this protein may function in regulating cellular stress responses. In addition, it was found that TRAP1 interacted with the N-terminal half of TNFR1. Also, TRAP1 interacted with the C-terminal ends of the proteins encoded by both multiple exostoses-causing genes, EXT1 and EXT2, but not with EXTL1 or EXTL3.
