A portion of amino acids 108-136 from human HSPB1 was used as the immunogen for this HSP27 antibody.
HSP27 is a chaperone of the sHsp (small heat shock protein) group among ubiquitin, alpha-crystallin, Hsp20 and others. The common functions of sHsps are chaperone activity, thermotolerance, inhibition of apoptosis, regulation of cell development, and cell differentiation. They also take part in signal transduction.
