HSP110 polyclonal antibody

Hsp 110 belongs to a family of large stress proteins known as the Hsp110/SSE family, the mostly overlooked relatives of the well studied Hsp70 family. Members of this group, while significantly larger and containing sequences not present in the Hsp70 family, share 30-33% amino acid identity with members of the Hsp70 family, mostly in the conserved ATP-binding domain. Presently, all identified members of the Hsp70-like sequences belong to either the Hsp70 family or the Hsp110/SSE family. Hsp110 appears to be a normal constituent of mammalian cells with highest expression in the brain, and its induction by heat shock strongly correlates with cellular thermotolerance. Hsp110 may contribute to RNA stability, and its capacity to bind peptide has made Hsp110 a promising immunoadjuvant in anti-tumor vaccine development.
