MyBioSource.com's HSPD1 Polyclonal Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot. The HSPD1 Polyclonal Antibody was generated using CPN60, GroEL, HSP60, HSP65, and HSPD1 as the antigen and it reacts with Human, and Mouse.
Description
In both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells the misfolding and aggregation of proteins during biogenesis and under conditions of cellular stress are prevented by molecular chaperones (1-3). HSP60 has primarily been known as a mitochondrial protein that is important for folding key proteins after import into the mitochondria (4). It is now clear that a significant amount of HSP60 is also present in the cytosol of many cells and that it is induced by stress, inflammatory and immune responses, autoantibodies correlated with Alzheimer's, coronary artery diseases, MS, and diabetes (5-8)
