Tissue and allelic-specific expression of hsp70 gene in chickens: basal and heat-stress-induced mRNA level quantified with real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.

Abstract excerpt

1. The 70 kDa heat shock proteins (hsp70) are a family of molecular chaperones, which promote protein folding and participate in many cellular functions. The objective of the current research was to investigate the relationship between tissue or allele and the expression of chicken hsp70 under normal growth conditions and during acute heat stress (44 degrees C for 4 h). 2. A total of 279 individuals were...
