Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human Hsp60 recombinant protein (Position: A260-Q496). Human Hsp60 shares 97% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat Hsp60. (reported region: A260-Q496).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 61 kDa; calculated MW: 61055 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: IF, IHC, ICC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
60 kDa heat shock protein, mitochondrial; 60 kDa heat shock protein, mitochondrial. HSP60 is a member of the chaperonin class of protein factors, which include the Escherichia coli groEL protein and the Rubisco subunit-binding protein of chloroplasts. It acts as a costimulator of human regulatory CD4-positive/CD25 -positive T cells, which inhibit lymphoproliferation and IFNG and TNF secretion by CD4-positive and CD8-positive T cells. HSP60 enhances Treg activity via TLR2, leading to activation of an intracellular signaling cascade that included p38, as well as inhibition of ERK phosphorylation. Suppression of target T cells is mediated by both cell-to-cell contact and by secretion of TGFB and IL10, and it leads to downregulation of ERK, NFKB, and TBET expression. The self-molecule HSP60 can downregulate adaptive immune responses by upregulating Tregs through TLR2 signaling. Functional note: Implicated in mitochondrial protein import and macromolecular assembly. May facilitate the correct folding of imported proteins. May also prevent misfolding and promote the refolding and proper assembly of unfolded polypeptides generated under stress conditions in the mitochondrial matrix. Reported localization: Mitochondrion matrix. Expression/tissue context: Ubiquitously expressed in normal tissues but is overexpressed in neurons affected in AD. .
