HspBP1 Lysates

Heat shock protein binding protein is an Hsp70-interacting protein that was first isolated from a human heart cDNA library using the yeast two-hybrid system. HspBP1 binds the ATPase domain of Hsp70, and inhibits Hsp70 chaperone activity. More recently HspBP1 was found to promote nucleotide dissociation from Hsc70 and is capable of altering the confirmation of the Hsp70 ATPase domain. HspBP1 is capable of regulating any Hsp70 activity that requires ATPase.
