This protein is highly similar to Cdc 37, a cell division cycle control protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This protein is a HSP90 Co-chaperone with specific function in cell signal transduction. It has been shown to form complex with Hsp90 and a variety of protein kinases including CDK4, CDK6, SRC, RAF1, MOK, as well as eIF-2 alpha kinases. It is thought to play a critical role in directing Hsp90 to its target kinases.
Interactions
CDC37 has been shown to interact with:
Domain architecture
CDC37 consists of three structural domains. The N-terminal domain binds to protein kinases. The central domain is the Hsp90 chaperone (heat shock protein 90) binding domain. The function of the C-terminal domain is unclear.
