Abstract excerpt
Mortalin, a novel member of mouse heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) family, is seen to distinguish the cellular mortal and immortal phenotypes by virtue of its cytosolic and perinuclear distribution, respectively. We report here that the cytosolic and perinuclear forms of mortalin from CD1-ICR mouse embryonic fibroblasts and NIH 3T3 cells, respectively, differ by two amino acids, can be distinguished on...
