CELE_T27E4.3, hsp-16, T27E4.3

hsp-16.48 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-16.48 reporter fusion, expressed broadly but most strongly in body muscle and hypodermis, is induced solely 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-16.48 is likely to function as a passive ligand temporarily preventing unfolded proteins from aggregating.
