HSPA2 or Heat Shock Protein Family A (Hsp70) Member 2 is a protein-encoding gene.[1]

Function[edit | edit source]

HSPA2 is a mitochondrial/energy metabolism genes.[2]

ME/CFS[edit | edit source]

A study by Light et al. (2013) differences between gene expression in fatigued prostrate cancer patients and chronic fatigue syndrome patients reported:

"CFS patients showed higher P2RX7 and lower HSPA2 versus controls and PCF."[2]
