- Extra Details:
- The 70 kilodalton heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) are a family of ubiquitously expressed heat shock proteins. The Hsp70s are an important part of the cell's machinery for protein folding, and help to protect cells from stress. All of the Hsp70 proteins have three major functional domains: An N-terminal ATPase domain binds ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) and hydrolyzes it to ADP (Adenosine diphosphate); A substrate binding domain contains a groove with an affinity for neutral, hydrophobic amino acid residues; A C-terminal domain rich in alpha helical structure acts as a 'lid' for the substrate binding domain. By binding tightly to partially-synthesized peptide sequences (incomplete proteins), Hsp70 prevents them from aggregating and being rendered nonfunctional. And it also can act to protect cells from thermal or oxidative stress. Finally, Hsp70 seems to be able to participate in disposal of damaged or defective proteins. Interaction with CHIP (Carboxyl-terminus of Hsp70 Interacting Protein)–an E3 ubiquitin ligase–allows Hsp70 to pass proteins to the cell's ubiquitination and proteolysis pathways. UniProt Number: E9PSH5 Gene ID: HSPA8 Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin and Frozen), and Immunocytochemistry. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
