Anti-HSPA6 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro550 Conjugated

Heat shock 70 kDa protein 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HSPA6 gene. HSPA6 (also known as HSP70B) is a member of the HSPA (HSP70) family of heat-shock proteins which are highly conserved chaperons implicated in protein folding, protein refolding, protein transport, and protein targeting. Human HSP70B is known to be strictly inducible and shows very low or no basal expression levels in most cells. HSPA6 induction has been exploited as a reasonable biomarker of cellular stresses and its mRNA expression levels have been shown to be significantly induced against a variety of cellular stresses. This antibody was raised against the C-terminal region of human HSPA6 and it may cross-react with HSPA1 (HSP70), HSPA1L and HSPA2.

RNA-binding protein that regulates alternative splicing events by binding to 5'-UGCAUGU-3' elements. Prevents binding of U2AF2 to the 3'-splice site. Regulates alternative splicing of tissue-specific exons and of differentially spliced exons during erythropoiesis (By similarity) . RNA-binding protein that seems to act as a coregulatory factor of ER-alpha.
