HSPB1 (Hsp27) is a small heat shock protein with anti-apoptotic and neuroprotective functions.
- Alpha-crystallin domain
- N-terminal and C-terminal regions
- Multiple phosphorylation sites (Ser15, Ser78, Ser82)
- Molecular chaperone activity
- Cytoskeletal stabilization
- Anti-apoptotic signaling
- Oxidative stress protection
- Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease: HSPB1 mutations cause CMT2F
- ALS: Protective role; reduced in affected neurons
- AD: Neuroprotective; potential therapeutic target
- Hsp27 activators in development for neuropathy
- Gene therapy approaches
