GenAge entry for HSPA9 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 152)

HGNC symbol: HSPA9
Aliases: GRP75; PBP74; mot-2; mthsp75; HSPA9B
Common name: heat shock 70kDa protein 9 (mortalin)

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence directly linking the gene product to ageing in a non-mammalian animal model
Description: HSPA9 appears to be involved in apoptosis and maybe cellular proliferation. It could also be a molecular chaperone. Roundworms with extra copies of Hsp70F, a HSPA9 homologue, live about 40% longer than controls [904]. A role for HSPA9 in human ageing has not been established.
