| Description |
hsp-16.1 encodes a 16-kD heat shock protein (HSP) that is a member of the hsp16/hsp20/alphaB-crystallin (HSP16) family of heat shock proteins, and that is identical to the protein encoded by hsp-16.11; an hsp-16.1 reporter fusion, expressed broadly but most strongly in muscle and hypodermis, is induced solely in response to heat shock or other environmental stresses; expression is detectable in somatic tissues in post-gastrulation embryos, all larval stages, and in adults; HSP-16.1 is likely to function as a passive ligand temporarily preventing unfolded proteins from aggregating. |
