Heat Shock Protein 20 (HSP20), encoded by the HSPB6 gene, is a member of the small heat shock protein (sHSP) family, prominently involved in cellular stress response and maintenance of cytoskeletal integrity. HSP20 is ubiquitously expressed across various tissues, including cardiac and smooth muscle, where its roles are vital in modulating stress resilience and muscle function. It exerts protective effects against apoptosis and oxidative stress by interacting with cell signaling pathways that enhance cellular survival and protein stabilization. In cardiac muscle, HSP20 is known for its cardioprotective actions during ischemic injury, helping preserve myocardial function by inhibiting hypertrophic signaling pathways and promoting muscle relaxation. Studies highlight its involvement in vasodilation processes, as HSP20 interacts with myosin to regulate smooth muscle contraction and dilatation. Beyond its role in muscle physiology, HSP20 has been investigated for its potential therapeutic applications in cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders, where its expression and function could be pivotal in disease modulation and treatment strategies.
