HSPB8 is part of the super-family of small heat-shock proteins containing a conservative alpha-crystallin domain at the C-terminal part of the molecule. HSPB8 is induced by estrogen in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells. HSPB8 protein functions as a chaperone in association with BAG3, a stimulator of macroautophagy. HSPB8 participates in the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and carcinogenesis. Mutations in HSPB8 gene have been related with different neuromuscular diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

Description

HSPB8 Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 216 amino acids (1-196 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 23.7kDa. The HSPB8 is fused to a 20 amino acid His Tag at N-terminus and purified by conventional chromatography.

Source

Escherichia coli

Physical Appearance

Sterile Filtered colorless solution.

Formulation

The HSPB8 protein solution contains 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8, 100mM NaCl, and 10% glycerol.

Stability

HSPB8 although stable 4°C for 4 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
