Biochem/physiol Actions

α-Crystallin B chain is a protein encoded by the CRYAB gene in humans. αB-crystallin (ABC) and HSP27 are most abundant in human tissues. It is predominantly expressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and leads to aggressive tumor phenotype. αB-crystallin expression is primary found in breast carcinomas and brain metastases. αB-crystallin is overexpressed or silenced in two different TNBC cell lines. It is a novel regulator of brain metastasis in TNBC and acts as a potential biomarker for drug target in aggressive disease. αB-crystallin and VEGF expressions in human conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (CSCCs) may play an important role in the pathogenesis. Mutation in the gene is responsible for a number of inherited human disorders, which include cardiomyopathy, skeletal muscle myopathy and cataracts.

Physical form

Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 3% bovine serum albumin and 0.05% sodium azide.

To examine the expression of αB-crystallin and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). Seven CSCCs and three normal conjunctivas that were surgically excised were studied. Paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections were processed for immunohistochemistry with antibodies

Protein homeostasis, including protein folding, refolding, and degradation, is thought to decline with aging. HSPB5 (also known as αB-crystallin) prevents target protein aggregation as a molecular chaperone and exhibits a cytoprotective function against various cell stresses. To elucidate the effect

Basal-like breast tumors are typically (ER/PR/HER2) triple-negative and are associated with a high incidence of brain metastases and poor clinical outcomes. The molecular chaperone αB-crystallin is predominantly expressed in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and contributes to an aggressive tumor phenotype
