This antibody recognizes inducible and constitutive Hsp70/Hsc70 of human, mouse, rat, rabbit, monkey, guinea pig, hamster, chicken, bovine, canine, ovine, porcine, fish, Xenopus, Drosophila, C. elegans, and plants. The epitope is in the region of amino acids 503-640 of human Hsp70.

Hsp70 genes, members of a multigene family, encode heat-inducible 70kDa heat- shock proteins that function as molecular chaperones. They have been identified in most organelles of eukaryotic cells as well as in bacteria. The N-terminus of Hsp70 binds ATP with high affinity and the C- terminus binds proteins and polypeptides. Hsp70s bind nascent polypeptides as well as partially folded intermediates of proteins, thus preventing their aggregation and/or misfolding. Binding of ATP triggers a conformational change that results in the release of bound protein. Hsp70s function in protein synthesis, protein folding and oligomerization, and protein transport.
