Anti-HSP-60 [Clone LK-1] (11100-200ug)

Hsp60 is an abundant protein synthesized constitutively in various cell types that is induced to higher concentrations after cell shock. It is present in mitochondria of many mammalian species and has highly similar counterparts in bacteria and plants (where it is localized to chloroplasts). In general, Hsp60 proteins are present in high concentrations, are induced in response to environmental stresses (such as heat shock) are homo-oligomeric structures of 7 or 14 subunits that dissociate reversibly in the presence of Mg2+ and ATP, have ATPase activity, and play a role in folding and assembly of oligomeric protein structures. Hsp60 has been linked to Alzheimer's disease, coronary artery disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and other autoimmune diseases.
