we show for the first time that alphaB-crystallin, a molecular chaperon for tubulin/microtubules, is involved in cell shape determination. knockdown of this molecule caused myoblasts and glioma cells to lose their ability for adhesion as they tended to behave like migratory cells. knockdown in both C6 glial cells and L6 myoblast permitted cells to migrate more rapidly than dermal fibroblasts.

Hsp20-mesenchymal stem cells enhanced cardiac repair. The mechanisms contributing to the beneficial effects of Hsp20 were associated with enhanced Akt activation and increased secretion of growth factors (VEGF, FGF-2, and IGF-1).
Title: Hsp20-engineered mesenchymal stem cells are resistant to oxidative stress via enhanced activation of Akt and increased secretion of growth factors.
Here, crystal structures of excised alpha-crystallin domain from rat Hsp20 and that from human alphaB-crystallin show that they form homodimers with a shared groove at the interface by extending a beta sheet.

After 7 days of spinal cord transection, Hsp20 and Hsp25 levels in the soleus, plantaris, and adductor longus muscles were lower than in control rats, whereas Hsp20 was unchanged and Hsp25 increased in the tibialis anterior.

Secreased HSP20 is mediated by cAMP-dependent pathway, and impaired vasoconstriction in portal hypertension may be partially explained by decreased HSP20. Phosphorylation of HSP20 by PKA may alter HSP20 turnover.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
