Also known as SMAP-1GC-UNC45
Summary
UNC45A (unc-45 myosin chaperone A, HGNC:30594) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q26.1, encoding Protein unc-45 homolog A (Q9H3U1). Acts as a co-chaperone for HSP90. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 19.2% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a regulatory component of the progesterone receptor/heat shock protein 90 chaperoning complex, which functions in the assembly and folding of the progesterone receptor. The encoded protein is thought to be essential for normal cell proliferation, and for the accumulation of myosin during development of muscle cells.

Function. Acts as a co-chaperone for HSP90. Prevents the stimulation of HSP90AB1 ATPase activity by AHSA1. Positive factor in promoting PGR function in the cell. May be necessary for proper folding of myosin (Potential). Necessary for normal cell proliferation. Necessary for normal myotube formation and myosin accumulation during muscle cell development. May play a role in erythropoiesis in stroma cells in the spleen.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with PGR isoforms A and B as well as with NR3C1 in the absence of ligand, and with HSP90AB1. Binding to HSP90AB1 involves 2 UNC45A monomers per HSP90AB1 dimer.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Perinuclear region. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Detected in peripheral blood leukocytes, bone marrow, adrenal gland, trachea, spinal cord, thyroid, lymph node and stomach.
Disease relevance. Osteootohepatoenteric syndrome (OOHE) [MIM:619377] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by cholestasis, congenital diarrhea, impaired hearing, and bone fragility. Some patients also display mild developmental delay and intellectual disability. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 188 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
