NCIt definition : Human HSPA1A wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 6p21.3 and is approximately
2 kb in length. This allele, which encodes heat shock 70 kDa protein 1A/1B, plays
a role in protein chaperone activity.;
NCIt note : The coding sequences of HSPA1A and HSPA1B differ by 8 base pairs but encode identical
proteins. However, the 3-prime untranslated regions of these genes are completely
divergent. (OMIM);
