Background
HSPB8 (HSP22) is a member of the small heat shock protein superfamily and the human protein is most closely related to HSP27. Similar to most other small HSPs (sHSPs), HSPB8 is predominantly transcribed in skeletal muscle and heart. In a two hybrid screen, HSPB8 interacted preferentially with a triple aspartate form of HSP27 which mimics HSP27 phosphorylated at Ser15, Ser78, and Ser82, as compared to wild-type HSP27.
