| UniProt Protein Function: | HSPB2: May regulate the kinase DMPK. Belongs to the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family. |
| UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:Heat shock protein; Chaperone Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11q22-q23 Cellular Component: cytoplasm; cytosol; nucleus Molecular Function:enzyme activator activity; protein binding Biological Process: positive regulation of catalytic activity; response to heat; response to unfolded protein; somatic muscle development |
| NCBI Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the superfamily of small heat-shock proteins containing a conservative alpha-crystallin domain at the C-terminal part of the molecule. The protein is expressed preferentially in the heart and skeletal muscle. This protein regulates Myotonic Dystrophy Protein Kinase, which plays an important role in maintenance of muscle structure and function. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012] |
