Heat Shock Protein Family B (small) member 7 (HSPB7) in humans is a protein encoded by a gene of the same name with four exons that is located on chromosome 1p36.13. HSPB7 contains 170 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 18,611Da. HSPB7 is a member of human small heat shock protein (HSPB) family, which contains eleven family members of chaperone proteins.[7] HSPB7 and its gene pair SRARP are located 5 kb apart on the opposite strands of chromosome 1p36.13
