Co-chaperone for HSP70 and HSC70 chaperone proteins.
Acts as a nucleotide-exchange factor (NEF) promoting the release of ADP from the HSP70 and HSC70 proteins thereby triggering client/substrate protein release.
Nucleotide release is mediated via its binding to the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) of HSPA8/HSC70 where as the substrate release is mediated via its binding to the substrate-binding domain (SBD) of HSPA8/HSC70.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunohistochemistry and Immunofluorescence.
