Function[ENPL_HUMAN] Molecular chaperone that functions in the processing and transport of secreted proteins. When associated with CNPY3, required for proper folding of Toll-like receptors (By similarity). Functions in endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation (ERAD). Has ATPase activity.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedHSP90 continues to be a target of interest for neurodegeneration indications. Selective knockdown of the HSP90 cytosolic isoforms alpha and beta is sufficient to reduce mutant huntingtin protein levels in vitro. Chemotype-dependent binding conformations of HSP90alpha/beta appear to strongly influence isoform selectivity. The rational design of HSP90alpha/beta inhibitors selective versus the mitochondrial (TRAP1) and endoplasmic reticulum (GRP94) isoforms offers a potential mitigating strategy for mechanism-based toxicities. Better tolerated HSP90 inhibitors would be attractive for targeting chronic neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's disease.
