Genetic aspects of the hsp70 multigene family in vertebrates

Experientia. 1994 Nov 30;50(11-12):987-1001. doi: 10.1007/BF01923453.

Abstract

The family of genes encoding heat shock proteins of about 70 kDa (hsp70) in vertebrates is reviewed under genetic aspects. After a detailed description of the various hsp70 genes more general characteristics of the organization and evolution of the multigene family are discussed.
