Abstract α-B-Crystallin (CryAB, gene map locus: 11q22.3-q23.1) is a member of the small heat shock protein (HSP) family, a group of proteins that prevent protein aggregation upon exposure of a cell to heat and/or restore the biological activity of cell [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Has chaperone-like activity, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions. [genecards.org]
