HSP70 | Heat Shock Protein 70, plant ELISA kit

In most eucaryotes hsp70 genes exist as part of a multigene family and are found in most cellular compartments including nuclei, mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum and the cytosol. All HSP70 proteins, regardless of their location, bind particularly unfolded proteins. The universal ability of HSP70 proteins to undergo cycles of binding to and release from hydrophobic stretches of partially unfolded proteins determines their role in a great variety of vital intracellular functions such as protein synthesis, protein folding and oligomerization and protein transport.
