======= HSPB2 ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: HSPB2 * **Official Name**: heat shock protein family B (small) member 2 * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=3316|3316]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q16082|Q16082]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=HSPB2&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20HSPB2|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/602179|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the superfamily of small heat-shock proteins containing a conservative alpha-crystallin domain at the C-terminal part of the molecule. The protein is expressed preferentially in the heart and skeletal muscle. This protein regulates Myotonic Dystrophy Protein Kinase, which plays an important role in maintenance of muscle structure and function. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]. * **UniProt Summary**: May regulate the kinase DMPK. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9490724}. |HSP20| |enzyme activator activity| |response to unfolded protein| |response to topologically incorrect protein| |positive regulation of catalytic activity| |positive regulation of molecular function| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp199|Etoposide 0.3μM R05 exp199]]|1.77| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
