Heat shock protein HSP 90-alpha, Heat shock 86 kDa, Lipopolysaccharide-associated protein 2, Renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-38, HSP 86, HSP86, LAP-2, LPS-associated protein 2, HSP90AA1
Molecular chaperone that promotes the maturation, structural maintenance and proper regulation of specific target proteins involved for instance in cell cycle control and signal transduction. Undergoes a functional cycle that is linked to its ATPase activity. This cycle probably induces conformational changes in the client proteins, thereby causing their activation. Interacts dynamically with various co-chaperones that modulate its substrate recognition, ATPase cycle and chaperone function. Binds bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) et mediates LPS-induced inflammatory response, including TNF secretion by monocytes.
