Description | Background Info: This protein A Affinity purified antibody detects an 62kD protein, corresponding to P.falciparum Hsp40 on SDS PAGE immunoblot; in samples from P.Falciparum origin. Scientific Background: DnaJ/Hsp40 proteins have been preserved throughout evolution and are important for protein translation, folding, unfolding, translocation, and degradation, primarily by stimulating the ATPase activity of chaperone proteins, Hsp70s. Because the ATP hydrolysis is essential for the activity of Hsp70s, DnaJ/Hsp40 proteins actually determine the activity of Hsp70s by stabilizing their interaction with substrate proteins. DnaJ/Hsp40 proteins all contain the J domain through which they bind to Hsp70s. Hsp40, also known as HDJ1 (1), is a basic mamm |
