About Hspb6

Summary

Enables protein homodimerization activity. Involved in negative regulation of cardiac muscle cell apoptotic process and regulation of muscle contraction. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; cytosol; and nucleolus. Orthologous to human HSPB6 (heat shock protein family B (small) member 6).
