These HSC71 ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring the levels of HSC71 in biological samples. HSC71 is an alias name of the human HSPA8 gene, which encodes the protein, heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 8. Notably, HSC71 is known to play a role in autophagy pathways, among other functions. The HSPA8 protein is 646 amino acid residues in length and 70.9 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 2 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cell membrane, nucleus, lysosomes and cytoplasm of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is ubiquitously expressed across many tissue types. This protein is known to be acetylated. Other names for this target antigen include HEL-33, HEL-S-72p, and HSC54.
