Hsp110/105 belongs to the HSP110 heat shock protein family, which is a subgroup of the HSP70 family. In mammals, Hsp110/105 is constitutively expressed but exhibits particularly high levels in the brain. It has recently been shown that both Hsp110/105 and Hsp70 are elevated after cerebral ischemia. To study the physiological role of this protein in vivo, we generated hsp110/105 knockout (KO) mice and investigate the effect of reduced Hsp110/105 levels on focal cerebral ischemia.
