Function

HSPA5 localized to flagella (25613900) The most abundant membrane-associated proteins were heat-shock protein family A (Hsp70) member (Hspa5) … (28710093) Hspa5 was significantly downregulated following lithium carbonate exposure, and decreased Cdc42 expression and cytoskeletal abnormalities could disrupt normal cilia development and lead to shortened cilia.
