IER5 — Immediate early response 5
IER5 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 14 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
Plays a role as a transcription factor. Mediates positive transcriptional regulation of several chaperone genes during the heat shock response in a HSF1- dependent manner. Mediates negative transcriptional regulation of CDC25B expression. Plays a role in the dephosphorylation of the heat shock factor HSF1 and ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K) by the protein phosphatase PP2A. Involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and resistance to thermal stress. Involved in the cell cycle checkpoint and survival in response to ionizing radiation. Associates with chromatin to the CDC25B promoter.
