Anti-HSP-70 (HSC-70) [Clone N27F3-4] (11095-200ug)

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.
