Anti-HSPA2 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Product Specifications

Background

HSPA2 (heat shock 70kDa protein 2) also known as HEAT-SHOCK PROTEIN, 70-KD, 2, HSP70-2, HEAT-SHOCK PROTEIN, 70-KD, 3 or HSP70-3. Analysis of the sequence indicated that  HSPA2  is the human homolog of the murine Hsp70-2 gene, with 91.7% identity in the nucleotide coding sequence and 98.2% in the corresponding amino acid sequence.HSPA2  has less amino acid homology to the other members of the human HSP70 gene family.  HSPA2  is constitutively expressed in most tissues, with very high levels in testis and skeletal muscle. The  HSPA2  gene is located on chromosome 14q22-q24. Immunohistochemical analysis detected weak expression of  HSPA2  in spermatocytes and stronger expression in spermatids and in the tail of mature sperm. HSPA2  may be critical to sperm maturation through its role as a protein chaperone.

Function

In cooperation with other chaperones, Hsp70s stabilize preexistent proteins against aggregation and mediate the folding of newly translated polypeptides in the cytosol as well as within organelles. These chaperones participate in all these processes through their ability to recognize nonnative conformations of other proteins. They bind extended peptide segments with a net hydrophobic character exposed by polypeptides during translation and membrane translocation, or following stress-induced damage.
