Alpha B crystallin (CRYAB), also known as heat shock protein beta-5 (HSPB5), is a small heat shock protein that plays a critical role in maintaining structural integrity in muscle and contractile tissues. Crystallin Alpha B Antibody / Muscle Structural Stress Marker (clone CRYAB/4663) is designed for studies examining CRYAB expression in muscle biology, where it functions as both a molecular chaperone and a stabilizer of cytoskeletal elements. CRYAB antibody, also referred to as Alpha B crystallin antibody in the literature, is widely used in investigations of muscle physiology and stress adaptation.
CRYAB is highly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle, where it associates with intermediate filaments such as desmin, contributing to the maintenance of sarcomeric organization and resistance to mechanical stress. This interaction helps preserve muscle fiber integrity during contraction and protects against damage induced by physical strain.
In addition to its structural role, CRYAB functions as a stress-responsive protein in muscle tissue, preventing aggregation of damaged proteins and supporting recovery from stress. Its expression is often increased in response to mechanical load, injury, or disease, reflecting its protective function in maintaining muscle homeostasis.
In immunohistochemistry, CRYAB is observed as strong cytoplasmic staining in muscle fibers, often displaying a striated pattern consistent with its association with contractile structures. This staining pattern provides a useful marker for identifying muscle tissue and assessing structural integrity.
Western blot analysis detects CRYAB at approximately 20 kDa, consistent with its predicted molecular weight, supporting its identification in biochemical assays. Microarray validation confirms selective binding to CRYAB, ensuring specificity in detection across complex samples.
The mouse monoclonal clone CRYAB/4663 antibody provides reliable detection of CRYAB in muscle tissues and related applications. Its emphasis on structural and stress-related functions in muscle makes it particularly useful for studies of muscle biology, cytoskeletal organization, and tissue integrity.
For a microarray-validated reference CRYAB antibody with confirmed specificity, see clone CRYAB/4657.
Optimal dilution of the Crystallin Alpha B Antibody / Muscle Structural Stress Marker should be determined by the researcher.
Recombinant human full-length CRYAB protein was used as the immunogen for the Crystallin Alpha B antibody.
