Abstract:	We have investigated the developmental and tissue-specific distribution of the mouse small hsp25 by immunohistology using an antibody that specifically identifies hsp25. Our analysis shows that the relative amount of hsp25 increases during embryogenesis. Through days 13-20 of embryogenesis, hsp25 accumulation is predominant in the various muscle tissues, including the heart, the bladder, and the back muscles. hsp25 is detectable also in neurons of the spinal cord and the purkinje cells. Furthermore analysis of the closely related alpha, B-crystallin shows that in several tissues, including the bladder, the notochordal sheath and the eye lens both proteins are coexpressed. Our studies demonstrate that mammalian hsp25 accumulation is developmentally regulated during mouse embryogenesis and support the view of an important functional role of small heat shock proteins in normal cell metabolism.
