Anti-HSPA4 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Heat shock 70 kDa protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HSPA4 gene. The heat shock protein HSPA4 (Apg-2, HSP70RY) is a member of the heat-shock protein 110 (Hsp 110) subfamily of Hsp70 heat-shock proteins. Apg-2 has chaperone ability similiar to Hsp110, and it plays a role under non-stress conditions. Apg-2 interacts with TJP1/ZO-1 and functions as a regulator of ZO-1-ZONAB signaling in epithelial cells in response to cellular stress.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human HSPA4, which shares 95.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat HSPA4.
