Anti-HSP27 (phospho-S82) HSPB1 Antibody

Heat shock protein beta-1; HspB1;28 kDa heat shock protein; Estrogen-regulated 24 kDa protein; Heat shock 27 kDa protein; HSP 27; Stress-responsive protein 27; SRP27; HSPB1; HSP27, HSP28;

Detected in all tissues tested: skeletal muscle, heart, aorta, large intestine, small intestine, stomach, esophagus, bladder, adrenal gland, thyroid, pancreas, testis, adipose tissue, kidney, liver, spleen, cerebral cortex, blood serum and cerebrospinal fluid. Highest levels are found in the heart and in tissues composed of striated and smooth muscle.

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .

Small heat shock protein which functions as a molecular chaperone probably maintaining denatured proteins in a folding- competent state (PubMed:10383393, PubMed:20178975) . Plays a role in stress resistance and actin organization (PubMed:19166925) . Through its molecular chaperone activity may regulate numerous biological processes including the phosphorylation and the axonal transport of neurofilament proteins (PubMed:23728742) .
