GenAge entry for HSPA1B (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 161)

HGNC symbol: HSPA1B
Aliases: HSP70-2
Common name: heat shock 70kDa protein 1B

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to a pathway or mechanism linked to ageing
Description: HSPA1B is involved in stress response and recognition of abnormal proteins, but also in signalling cascades. Results from invertebrates have suggested that heat-shock proteins, such as hsp70, a homologue of HSPA1B, are involved in ageing [210]. Whether HSPA1B is involved in human ageing is unknown.
