Bovine Heat shock 27 kDa protein,HSP27 ELI

Small heat shock protein which functions as a molecular chaperone probably maintaining denatured proteins in a folding-competent state.

Plays a role in stress resistance and actin organization.

Through its molecular chaperone activity may regulate numerous biological processes including the phosphorylation and the axonal transport of neurofilament proteins.
