Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Heat shock protein 20 (HSP20)/HSPB6 (heat shock protein family B member 6) belongs to the small heat shock protein family. It is located on human chromosome 19q13. HSP20 is present in the brain, stomach, liver, lung, kidney, blood, smooth muscle, skeletal muscle and cardiac tissue._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human HSP20 around the phosphorylation site of Ser16._x000D_ Immunogen Range: 5-54_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Heat shock protein 20 (HSP20) is involved in asthma, intimal hyperplasia and insulin resistance. This protein controls myometrial activity. Overexpression of Hsp20 helps to increase cardiac function and provides cardioprotection against β-agonist-mediated apoptosis and ischemia/reperfusion injury ex vivo and in vivo._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ Evaluate our antibodies with complete peace of mind.
