Function
Small heat shock protein which functions as a molecular chaperone probably maintaining denatured proteins in a folding-competent state. Seems to have versatile functions in various biological processes. Plays a role in regulating muscle function such as smooth muscle vasorelaxation and cardiac myocyte contractility.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm; Nucleus; Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Widely expressed. High expression in muscle tissues
