Hspb3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nuclear speck. Is expressed in several structures, including limb segment; lung; nervous system; skeletal musculature; and submandibular gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuronopathy 4. Orthologous to human HSPB3 (heat shock protein family B (small) member 3).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Hspb3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • alpha-crystallin Hsps/p23-like
  • Hsp20/alpha crystallin family
