SGTA
Sign in to saveAlso known as SGT, alphaSGT, hSGT, small glutamine rich tetratricopeptide repeat containing alpha, small glutamine rich tetratricopeptide repeat co-chaperone alpha, SGT1, Vpu
Small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat-containing protein alpha is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SGTA gene. SGTA orthologs have also been identified in several mammals for which complete genome data are available. STGA belongs to a family of co-chaperone proteins that obtain a TPR motif. STGA was discovered just 15 years ago.
Gene data
SGTA- Name
- small glutamine rich tetratricopeptide repeat co-chaperone alpha
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- SGT, SGT1, Vpu, alphaSGT, hSGT
This gene encodes a protein which is capable of interacting with the major nonstructural protein of parvovirus H-1 and 70-kDa heat shock cognate protein; however, its function is not known. Since this transcript is expressed ubiquitously in various tissues, this protein may serve a housekeeping function. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

== Function == The molecular function of the protein states that SGTA is a small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat (TRP)-containing protein, ubiquitously expressed, interacting with the NS1 protein of parvovirus H-1.
