This gene encodes a member of the heat shock protein 90 family; these proteins are involved in signal transduction, protein folding and degradation and morphological evolution. This gene encodes the constitutive form of the cytosolic 90 kDa heat-shock protein and is thought to play a role in gastric apoptosis and inflammation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes have been identified on multiple chromosomes. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]
A study in rats demonstrated that the HSP90AB1 was down-regulated in whisker follicles following methamphetamine self-administration and further after withdrawal, identifying it as a potential regulator of drug reward and addiction through network topology analysis [Song et al. DOI:10.1038/s41598-018-29772-1]. In mice, single-nucleus transcriptomics of the ventral tegmental area showed the HSP90AB1 was up-regulated in shared neuronal populations during the addicting phase of nicotine self-administration but down-regulated in the post-addiction phase, indicating a dynamic, phase-specific role in mitochondrial energy metabolism associated with addiction progression [Fan et al. DOI:10.1016/J.Jgg.2024.08.009].
