Heat Shock Protein ß-11/HSPB11 Protein(N-6His) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Heat Shock Protein beta-11 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Ser144 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus. Sequence: Met 1-Ser144. Fusion tag: N-6His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 21 kDa. Protein function: Heat Shock Protein ß-11 (HSPB11) is a stress-responsive protein that is required to deal with proteotoxic stresses. HSPB11 is composed of an IFT complex B composed of IFT88, IFT57, TRAF3IP1, IFT52, IFT27, HSPB11 and IFT20 and is detected in placenta. HSPB11 has beeb shown to form oligomeric complexes and prevent the aggregation of in vitro denaturated aldolase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in accordance with the chaperone model of HSPB1 and HSPB5. HSPB11 overexpression protected against etoposide-induced cell death that correlated with a decreased release of mitochondrial Cytochrome C into the cytosol. Inhibition of HSP90 function completely abrogated the protective effect of HSPB11. This data suggests that at least in the case of HSPB11, interaction with other chaperone machines besides HSPA1A may contribute to functional specificity and cellular functioning. Protein function: Component of the IFT complex B required for sonic hedgehog/SHH signaling. May mediate transport of SHH components: required for the export of SMO and PTCH1 receptors out of the cilium and the accumulation of GLI2 at the ciliary tip in response to activation of the SHH pathway, suggesting it is involved in the dynamic transport of SHH signaling molecules within the cilium. Not required for ciliary assembly. Its role in intraflagellar transport is mainly seen in tissues rich in ciliated cells such as kidney and testis. Essential for male fertility, spermiogenesis and sperm flagella formation. Plays a role in the early development of the kidney. May be involved in the regulation of ureteric bud initiation.
