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. The SGTA gene encodes a protein that 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. Overview of main functions: •
hormone signaling • viral assembly and release •
cell cycle and
apoptosis • intracellular compartmentalization • neuronal synaptic transmission • post-translational transport and modification of proteins. Small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat-containing protein alpha (STGA) acts as a co-chaperone and regulator of androgen and growth hormone receptor signaling. The protein also mediates targets to the endoplasmic reticulum == Interactions ==
