HSP60 Antibody

Overview

The heat shock proteins (HSPs) comprise a group of highly conserved, abundantly expressed proteins with diverse functions, including the assembly and sequestering of multiprotein complexes, transportation of nascent polypeptide chains across cellular membranes, and the regulation of protein folding. The mitochondrial and cytosolic localization of HSP60, combined with its binding and catalysis of folding of newly synthesized proteins destined for the mitochondrial matrix, classify this protein as a molecular chaperone. An additional role of HSP 60 is to act as a cell surface marker for T cell recognition, as well as being involved in a danger signal cascade immune response. HSP60 has been shown to influence apoptosis in tumor cells, and changes in its expression level may serve as a biomarker, as down-regulated HSP60 expression indicates a poor prognosis as well as a risk of tumor infiltration development, especially with regard to urothelial carcinomas. In ovarian cancer, decreased expression of HSP60 correlates with aggressive tumor types, while overexpression is correlated with a better patient prognosis.

This anti-HSP60 antibody is supplied as Purified (Mouse, Monoclonal (mouse origin), clone CPTC-HSPD1-1, Mouse IgG1, kappa, Unconjugated) and is designed to support common target-detection workflows after the on-page specifications.

Key elements and design rationale

• Target: HSP60
• Format: Purified
• Species reactivity: Human
• Applications (listed): FACS, IF, WB, IHC-P
• Conjugate: Unconjugated
• Clone and antibody class: Monoclonal (mouse origin), clone CPTC-HSPD1-1, Mouse IgG1, kappa

Because antibody performance can depend on epitope context, sample preparation, and biological state, interpret signals using appropriate controls and orthogonal evidence when possible.

Biological background

HSP60 is referenced in public gene/protein resources (e.g., UniProt and NCBI Gene), which provide curated names/synonyms, protein features, and pathway context. When designing assays, consider potential isoforms, post-translational modifications, and cell-type specific expression that may influence observed signal.

Research relevance and current trends

• Profiling HSP60 expression across model systems, perturbations, and time points to support mechanistic hypotheses.
• Combining antibody-based detection with multi-omics or imaging readouts to link HSP60 signal with phenotype.
• Using well-matched controls (isotype controls, genetic perturbations, or independent reagents) to strengthen interpretation of target-associated signal.

Common research applications

• FACS
• IF
• WB
• IHC-P

Use the listed applications as a starting point and tailor experimental design to your sample type and readout requirements.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Specificity considerations: closely related family members, isoforms, or PTMs can affect apparent specificity; confirm with independent approaches when critical.
• Controls: include negative controls and, when feasible, genetic or pharmacologic perturbations to support target attribution in your system.
• Species and sample context: differences in sequence, expression, fixation, or extraction conditions can change signal behavior across models.
