ST13

Hsc70-interacting protein also known as suppression of tumorigenicity 13 (ST13) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the ST13 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The protein encoded by this gene is an is_associated_with::adaptor protein that mediates the association of the heat shock proteins is_associated_with::HSP70 and is_associated_with::HSP90. This protein has been shown to be involved in the assembly process of is_associated_with::glucocorticoid receptor, which requires the assistance of multiple molecular chaperones. The expression of this gene is reported to be downregulated in is_associated_with::colorectal carcinoma tissue suggesting that is a candidate is_associated_with::tumor suppressor gene.
