Description: Homo sapiens heat shock 70kD protein 12B (HSPA12B), transcript variant 1, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_052970): The protein encoded by this gene contains an atypical heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) ATPase domain and is therefore a distant member of the mammalian Hsp70 family. This gene may be involved in susceptibility to atherosclerosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr20:3,713,317-3,733,758 Size: 20,442 Total Exon Count: 13 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg19 chr20:3,719,322-3,732,813 Size: 13,492 Coding Exon Count: 12
ID:HS12B_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Heat shock 70 kDa protein 12B; TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highest expression in muscle and heart. Lower levels in liver and kidney. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the heat shock protein 70 family.

No association attained genome-wide significance, but several intriguing findings emerged. Notably, we replicated associations of chromosome 9p21 with major CVD. Additional studies are needed to validate these results. Finding genetic variants associated with CVD may point to novel disease pathways and identify potential targeted preventive therapies.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
