Function
Isoform 1 functions as extracellular chaperone that prevents aggregation of nonnative proteins. Prevents stress- induced aggregation of blood plasma proteins. Inhibits formation of amyloid fibrils by APP, APOC2, B2M, CALCA, CSN3, SNCA and aggregation-prone LYZ variants (in vitro). Does not require ATP. Maintains partially unfolded proteins in a state appropriate for subsequent refolding by other chaperones, such as HSPA8/HSC70. Does not refold proteins by itself. Binding to cell surface receptors triggers internalization of the chaperone-client complex and subsequent lysosomal or proteasomal degradation. Secreted isoform 1 protects cells against apoptosis and against cytolysis by complement. Intracellular isoforms interact with ubiquitin and SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes and promote the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Promotes proteasomal degradation of COMMD1 and IKBKB. Modulates NF-kappa-B transcriptional activity. Nuclear isoforms promote apoptosis. Mitochondrial isoforms suppress BAX-dependent release of cytochrome c into the cytoplasm and inhibit apoptosis. Plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11123922, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12047389, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12176985, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12551933, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12882985, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16113678, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17260971, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17407782, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17412999, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17689225, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19137541, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19535339, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19996109, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20068069, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21505792}.
Induction
Up-regulated in response to enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection (at protein level). Up-regulated by agents that induce apoptosis, both at mRNA and protein level. Isoform 1 is up- regulated by androgen.

Ptm
Isoform 1 is proteolytically cleaved on its way through the secretory system, probably within the Golgi lumen. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2387851}.
Ptm
Polyubiquitinated, leading to proteasomal degradation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17451556, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19137541}.

Interacts with a broad range of misfolded proteins, including APP, APOC2 and LYZ. Slightly acidic pH promotes interaction with misfolded proteins. Forms high-molecular weight oligomers upon interaction with misfolded proteins. Interacts with APOA1, LRP2, CLUAP1 AND PON1. Interacts with the complement complex.
