Anti-HSPB8/Hsp22 Antibody Picoband® (monoclonal, 7D8) (Dylight488 Conjugate)

Heat shock protein beta-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HSPB8 gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the superfamily of small heat-shock proteins containing a conservative alpha-crystallin domain at the C-terminal part of the molecule. The expression of this gene in induced by estrogen in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells, and this protein also functions as a chaperone in association with Bag3, a stimulator of macroautophagy. Thus, this gene appears to be involved in regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and carcinogenesis, and mutations in this gene have been associated with different neuromuscular diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

E.coli-derived human HSPB8/Hsp22 recombinant protein (Position: M1-T196). Human HSPB8/Hsp22 shares 94.4% and 95.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat HSPB8/Hsp22, respectively.
