HSPB7, Official Symbol HSPB7provided by HGNC Official Full Name heat shock protein family B (small) member 7provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:5249 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000173641 MIM:610692; AllianceGenome:HGNC:5249 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as cvHSP Summary This gene encodes a small heat shock family B member that can heterodimerize with similar heat shock proteins. Defects in this gene are associated with advanced heart failure. In addition, the encoded protein may be a tumor suppressor in the p53 pathway, with defects in this gene being associated with renal cell carcinoma.
