CRYAB, also known as alpha-crystallin B chain or HspB5, serves as a small heat shock protein with critical roles in cellular stress response, protein quality control, and cytoskeletal stabilization. Beyond its well-characterized function in the eye lens, CRYAB has emerged as a significant research target in neurodegenerative disease, cardiomyopathy, and cancer biology, where its expression patterns and chaperone activity influence cell survival under pathological conditions.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated from clone 16F8, offers the reproducibility and sequence-defined consistency that demanding research applications require. Because recombinant production eliminates the batch variability inherent in traditional hybridoma methods, you can confidently compare results across experiments and extended study timelines without concerns about antibody drift affecting your data.
Validation studies demonstrate robust performance across multiple experimental platforms. In Western blot applications, this antibody detects CRYAB in diverse sample types including human cell lines such as U-251MG, U-87MG, HEK293T, and A2780, as well as mouse and rat tissue lysates from brain, heart, and skeletal muscle. The observed band at approximately 22 kDa, slightly above the predicted 20 kDa molecular weight, reflects post-translational modifications typical of this protein, including phosphorylation events known to regulate CRYAB activity. Cross-species reactivity with human, mouse, and rat samples provides flexibility for translational studies comparing model organisms to human systems.
Immunohistochemistry validation in paraffin-embedded human kidney tissue confirms suitability for spatial expression analysis in archival specimens. Whether investigating CRYAB's protective roles in neurodegeneration, its involvement in cardiac stress responses, or its emerging significance in tumor biology, this antibody delivers the reliability essential for meaningful discovery.
