Abstract

The human heat-inducible Hsp70B and Hsp70B' genes were co-localized to 1q23.1 by in situ hybridization. However, though transcripts from Hsp70B could be detected in heat-shocked cells, DNA sequence analyses of both the gene and cDNA copies of the mRNA indicate the gene is non-functional. Moreover, mouse homologues of Hsp70B/B' were not detected by Southern blot analysis, suggesting Hsp70B/B' arose from either Hsp70-1or Hsp70-2 after the divergence of mice and humans.
