HSP40 IHC Antibody

Description

The Hsp40 (heat shock protein with molecular size of approximately 40 kDa) is one of the mammalian homologues of bacterial DnaJ heat shock protein. Ohtsuka (1993) isolated a cDNA encoding a 40-kD heat-shock protein designated HSPF1. The deduced 340-amino acid HSPF1 protein is 34% identical to E. coli DnaJ and 34% and 36% identical to HSJ1 and HSJ2, respectively. HSPF1 gene spans over 7 kb and contains 3 exons and 2 introns. HSPF1 gene is mapped to chromosome 19p13.2.
