human ... CRYAB(1410)
General description
Crystallin, α B (CRYAB) is a molecular chaperone that holds protein in soluble aggregates. It functions as a tumor suppressor by interacting with adherens junction to inhibit the progression of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It is also known to inhibit stimulation of CD4+ T cells in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients.
Rabbit Anti-CRYAB antibody recognizes canine, rabbit, pig, human, mouse, rat, and bovine CRYAB.
Rabbit Anti-CRYAB antibody recognizes canine, rabbit, pig, human, mouse, rat, and bovine CRYAB.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human CRYAB
Application
Rabbit Anti-CRYAB antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 5 μg/ml.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Alpha crystallins are composed of: alpha-A and alpha-B, for acidic and basic, respectively. They act as molecular chaperones although they do not renature proteins and release them in the fashion of a true chaperone; instead they hold them in large soluble aggregates. Post-translational modifications decrease the ability to chaperone. Two additional functions of alpha crystallins are an autokinase activity and participation in the intracellular architecture. Alpha-A and alpha-B are differentially expressed; alpha-A is preferentially restricted to the lens and alpha-B is expressed widely in many tissues and organs. Elevated expression of alpha-B crystallin occurs in many neurological diseases; a missense mutation cosegregated in a family with a desmin-related myopathy.

Suppression of activation of pathogenic CD4(+) T cells is a potential therapeutic intervention in multiple sclerosis (MS). We previously showed that a small heat shock protein, CRYAB, reduced T cell proliferation, pro-inflammatory cytokine production and clinical signs of experimental allergic

Alpha B-crystallin (CRYAB) maps within the nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tumor-suppressive critical region 11q22-23 and its downregulation is significantly associated with the progression of NPC. However, little is known about the functional impact of CRYAB on NPC progression. In this study
