Disease relevance of HSPB3

  • 0. We have expressed the HSPL27 in E. coli and the expressed protein was found to be present in the soluble fraction of the bacterial cell lysate [1].
 

High impact information on HSPB3

  • Especially, the expressions of HSPB3, identified for the first time as a 17-kDa protein in this paper, and MKBP/HSPB2 are distinctly specific to muscles [2].
  • Interactions of HSP22 (HSPB8) with HSP20, alphaB-crystallin, and HSPB3 [3].
  • Two of the genes (HspB3 and HspB9) are intronless, and the others have 1 or 2 introns at various positions [4].
  • The HspB3 cDNA is 742 bp long and contains an open reading frame specifying a polypeptide of 150 amino acid residues [5].
  • Chromosomal mapping data shows that the HSPL27 gene is located at human chromosome 5q11.2 [1].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of HSPB3

  • Sequence analysis has shown that the putative novel smhsp, named 27 kDa heat-shock-protein-like protein (HSPL27) is a protein of 241 amino acids with a deduced molecular mass of 26.7 kDa and a deduced pI of 8 [1].
