HSP70 antibody

70-kDa Heat Shock Protein (Hsp70) is an abundant protein cofactor commonly known as a molecular chaperone. Found in most eukaryotes, Hsp genes are members of a heat-inducible multigene family. These proteins are found in most cellular compartments of eukaryotes - everything from nuclei, mitochondria, chloroplasts, to endoplasmic reticulum and cytosol.

Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) are a ubiquitous group of molecular chaperone proteins that have evolved unique mechanisms, within their host cells, to facilitate survival in hostile environments such as heat, oxidative (hypoxia), pH and cold.

Novus Biologicals offers an extensive antibody catalog targeting heat shock proteins (HSPs). A large protein group covering a number of families, the HSPs are functionally related by their dramatic upregulation in response to stress. Stress triggers may include a rise in temperature or a similar environmental cause. Transcription is controlled by the heat shock factor, or HSF, protein family.
