The encoded protein binds to monomeric alpha-globin until it has been transferred to beta-globin to form a heterodimer, which in turn binds to another heterodimer to form the stable tetrameric hemoglobin. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]. * **UniProt Summary**: Acts as a chaperone to prevent the harmful aggregation of alpha-hemoglobin during normal erythroid cell development. Specifically protects free alpha-hemoglobin from precipitation. It is predicted to modulate pathological states of alpha-hemoglobin excess such as beta-thalassemia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12066189}. |AHSP| |hemoglobin binding| |hemoglobin metabolic process| |hemoglobin complex| |erythrocyte differentiation| |erythrocyte homeostasis| |myeloid cell homeostasis| |unfolded protein binding| |protein stabilization| |homeostasis of number of cells| |myeloid cell differentiation| |protein folding| |regulation of protein stability| |hemopoiesis| |hematopoietic or lymphoid organ development| |immune system development| |homeostatic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp438|NN-Diethyl-meta-toluamide 500μM R08 exp438]]|-2.14| |[[:results:exp538|ZLN024 50μM R08 exp538]]|-1.89| |[[:results:exp306|Rapamycin 2μM R07 exp306]]|-1.82| |[[:results:exp501|Methotrexate 0.01μM R08 exp501]]|-1.8| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
