A portion of amino acids 581-704 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the HSP90AB1 antibody.
This gene encodes a member of the heat shock protein 90 family, these proteins are involved in signal transduction, protein folding and degradation and morphological evolution. This gene encodes the constitutive form of the cytosolic 90 kDa heat-shock protein and is thought to play a role in gastric apoptosis and inflammation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes have been identified on multiple chromosomes.
