Alpha B crystallin (CRYAB), also known as heat shock protein beta-5 (HSPB5), is a stress-inducible molecular chaperone that protects cells from damage caused by environmental and physiological stress. CRYAB Antibody / Cellular Stress Response Marker (clone CRYAB/4659) is optimized for studies examining cellular responses to stress, including heat shock, oxidative stress, and protein misfolding. CRYAB antibody, also referred to as Alpha B crystallin antibody in the literature, is widely used in investigations of cellular protection mechanisms and stress-adaptive pathways.
CRYAB expression is upregulated in response to a wide range of stress conditions, where it acts to stabilize proteins and prevent aggregation. This function is particularly important in cells exposed to fluctuating environmental conditions or metabolic demand. By binding partially unfolded proteins, CRYAB helps maintain protein homeostasis and supports cell survival under stress.
In addition to its chaperone function, CRYAB plays a role in modulating apoptosis and cell survival pathways. It has been shown to interact with key signaling molecules involved in stress responses, helping to suppress apoptotic signaling and promote cellular resilience. These properties make CRYAB an important factor in maintaining cell viability during injury or disease.
CRYAB is expressed in multiple tissue types, including muscle, neural, and epithelial tissues, where stress-related signaling is critical. In immunohistochemistry, it is typically observed as cytoplasmic staining that can increase in intensity under stress conditions, reflecting its inducible nature.
Western blot analysis of CRYAB reveals a band at approximately 20 kDa, consistent with its predicted molecular weight. This supports its detection in biochemical assays aimed at evaluating stress-related protein expression.
Like the anchor clone, this antibody has been validated using protein microarray analysis, demonstrating selective binding to CRYAB and supporting its specificity in complex biological samples. The mouse monoclonal clone CRYAB/4659 antibody provides reliable detection of CRYAB in research applications focused on stress response, protein stability, and cellular survival mechanisms.
For a microarray-validated reference CRYAB antibody with confirmed specificity, see clone CRYAB/4657.
Optimal dilution of the CRYAB Antibody / Cellular Stress Response Marker should be determined by the researcher.
Recombinant human full-length CRYAB protein was used as the immunogen for the CRYAB antibody.
Aliquot the CRYAB antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
