UNC45A Gene Summary [Human]
This gene encodes a regulatory component of the progesterone receptor/heat shock protein 90 chaperoning complex, which functions in the assembly and folding of the progesterone receptor. The encoded protein is thought to be essential for normal cell proliferation, and for the accumulation of myosin during development of muscle cells. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2018]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human UNC45A often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
