Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody to Hsc70

This gene encodes a member of the heat shock protein 70 family, which contains both heat~inducible and constitutively expressed members. This protein belongs to the latter group, which are also referred to as heat~shock cognate proteins. It functions as a chaperone, and binds to nascent polypeptides to facilitate correct folding. It also functions as an ATPase in the disassembly of clathrin~coated vesicles during transport of membrane components through the cell. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
