The role of the cysteine residue in the chaperone and anti-apoptotic functions of human Hsp27

The small heat shock protein Hsp27 is a molecular chaperone and an anti‐apoptotic protein. Human Hsp27 has one cysteine residue at position 137. We investigated the role of this cysteine residue in the chaperone and anti‐apoptotic functions of Hsp27 by mutating the cysteine residue to an alanine (Hs...
