Secondary Information

Presence in other biological fluids/tissue/cells UNC45 isoform A is ubiquitous, whereas isoform B is restricted to skeletal and cardiac muscle expression
Protein Function Member of the UCS family of myosin interacting proteins; promotes myosin folding and stress fibers assembly; UNC45A contributes to tumorigenesis- expression in cancer cells is correlated with the stage and the grade of the disease;UNC45A colocalizes with non-muscle myosin II (NMII) in the cleavage furrow during cytokinesis and to centrosomes, to which it helps recruit checkpoint kinase 1; UNC45A is a microtubule associated protein that modulates the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to paclitaxel; UNC45A can regulate transcription of the progesterone (PR), retinoic acid (RARα), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors
Biochemical Properties UCS domain of UNC45B is organized in helical armadillo repeats , which cooperate with the N-terminal tetratricopeptide (TPR) domain to recruit the heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) for myosin folding; Biochemically, both isoforms interact with Hsp90 , but UNC45A showed higher specificity toward Hsp90β;
