Introduction | Hsp20 is a mammalian small heat-shock protein family that is found most copiously in skeletal muscle and heart. The heat-shock proteins seem to act as chaperones that can protect other proteins against heat-induced denaturation and aggregation. The Hsp20 family is characterized structurally by the presence of a conserved C-terminal domain of about 100 residues and contains a beta-sandwich fold consisting of 8 strands in 2 beta-sheets in a “Greek-key” topology. Hsp20 proteins have a tendency to form dimers, throµgh a disulphide linkage formed by an N-terminal cysteine, low heat stability and a poor chaperoning ability in comparison with other family members. |
Synonyms | Heat Shock Protein 20, HSP20. |
Source | Escherichia Coli. |
Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation | HSP20 lyophilized from 20mM Tris-acetate, pH-7.6, 10mM NaCl, 0.1mM EDTA, 0.1mM PMSF and 15mM b-mercaptoethanol. |
