Mouse Anti-Canine Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) Monoclonal Antibody

HSP70, or heat shock protein 70, is a vital member of the heat shock protein family, renowned for its role as a molecular chaperone in the cell. It is instrumental in protein homeostasis, aiding in the folding, stabilization, and refolding of nascent and stress-denatured proteins. HSP70's expression is upregulated in response to various stressors, including heat, oxidative stress, and heavy metal exposure, making it a critical component of the cell's stress response. This protein's function extends beyond mere survival under stress; it also plays a role in immune modulation, apoptosis prevention, and the regulation of cellular signaling pathways. HSP70's ability to recognize and bind to hydrophobic regions of unfolded proteins makes it a guardian against protein misfolding and aggregation, which are implicated in several pathological conditions.
