| Gene Symbol | BIP |
| Full Name | Binding Immunoglobulin Protein |
| Aliases | HSPA5/GRP78 |
| Protein Type | Protein |
| Function | De Novo Folding: Binds nascent polypeptide chains as they enter the ER via the Sec61 translocon |
| Subcellular Localization | the ER lumen. Its primary functions include: |
| Molecular Weight | 78 kDa |

| Protein folding assistance | BIP binds to nascent polypeptides and ensures proper folding by preventing aggregation |
| ER quality control | BIP monitors protein folding status and targets misfolded proteins for degradation |
| UPR regulation | BIP acts as the primary sensor for ER stress, controlling activation of three UPR branches: |
| Associated Diseases | Tumor |
