Hsp70Bc

Symbol: Hsp70Bc
Name: Heat-shock-protein-70Bb
Entrez gene ID: 48582
Ensembl gene ID: FBgn0013278
Species: Fly (Taxid: 7227)

Functional description:
Heat shock protein 68; Heat shock protein 68 [Source:FlyBase gene name;Acc:FBgn0001230] [Ensembl]; The gene Heat shock protein 68 is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\Hsp68 (CG5436, FBgn0001230). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: unfolded protein binding. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: determination of adult lifespan; response to methotrexate; neurogenesis. 10 alleles are reported. The phenotype of these alleles is annotated with: mesothoracic tergum. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide. Protein features are: Heat shock protein 70; Heat shock protein 70, conserved site; Heat shock protein Hsp70. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of very low expression. Peak expression observed during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period. [FlyBase]

Observation:

Overexpression of the Hsp70 locus (containing Hsp70Bb and Hsp70Bc) in transgenic flies extends lifespan as much as 7.9% [9363888].



Interventions:
