Description | Specificity: Hsp70/Hsc70 [Mouse monoclonal antibody to Hsp70/Hsc70]. This antibody detects 72 and 73 kDa proteins corresponding to the predicted molecular masses of Hsp70 and Hsc70, respectively, on immunoblots of human, mouse, rat, rabbit, monkey, hamster, guinea pig, dog, bovine, sheep, pig, chicken yeast, fish, and Xenopus samples. This antibody recognizes the inducible and constitutive forms of Hsp70 and does not cross-react with Hsp90. Members of the Hsp70 family are molecular chaperones that function in protein folding, transport, maturation and degradation by binding to nascent polypeptide chains as well as partially folded protein intermediates and preventing their aggregation and misfolding. The 70 kDa heat shock cognate protein, H |
