CELE_Y46H3A.2, hsp-16, Y46H3A.2

hsp-16.41 encodes a 16-kD heat shock protein (HSP) that is a member of the hsp16/hsp20/alphaB-crystallin (HSP16) family of heat shock proteins; an hsp-16.41 reporter fusion, expressed broadly but strongest in intestine and pharynx, is induced in response to heat shock or other environmental stresses; expression is detectable in somatic tissues in post-gastrulation embryos, all larval stages, and in adults; HSP-16.41 is likely to function as a passive ligand temporarily preventing unfolded proteins from aggregating.
