Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| Name | Hspb1 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | Hsp27 |
| Function | Small heat shock protein which functions as a molecular chaperone probably maintaining denatured proteins in a folding- competent state. Plays a role in stress resistance and actin organization. Through its molecular chaperone activity may regulate numerous biological processes including the phosphorylation and the axonal transport of neurofilament proteins. |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04792}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04792}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04792}. Note=Cytoplasmic in interphase cells Colocalizes with mitotic spindles in mitotic cells. Translocates to the nucleus during heat shock and resides in sub-nuclear structures known as SC35 speckles or nuclear splicing speckles {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04792} |
| Tissue Location | Expressed in a variety of tissues. High levels in lung, adrenal, xiphoid, adipose tissue, heart and striated and smooth muscle, lower levels in the CNS. Adult levels are much higher in the slow-twitch soleus muscle than in the fast-twitch rectus femoris and extensor digitorum muscles. |

Background
Human Hsp27, mouse Hsp25 and αβ-crystallin are part of a diverse family of small heat shock proteins which are produced in all organisms. They function as chaperone-like proteins by binding unfolded polypeptides and preventing uncontrolled protein aggregation. Hsp27 is believed to exist mainly as oligomers of as many as 8-40 Hsp27 protein monomers in cells and data s µggests that the large oligomers of Hsp27 have a chaperone-like activity by serving as a site where unfolding proteins may bind until ATP and Hsp70-dependent refolding can occur. Hsp27 is believed to protect cells by enhancing cellular glutathione levels and elevated glutathione levels have been measured in cells overexpressing Hsp27. Data from studies using wild-type Hsp27 and mutant forms in which the serine phosphorylation sites were mutated to alanines, glycines or aspartates, have shown that cellular glutathione levels depend on the oligomerization of Hsp27. Recent findings indicate that Hsp27 is also a negative regulator of cytochrome c-dependent activation of procaspase-3.
