This family is a member of the HSP20-like chaperone superfamily clan. This clan includes the following Pfam members: CS; HSP20;

INTERPRO description (entry IPR002068 )

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms respond to heat shock or other environmental stress by inducing the synthesis of proteins collectively known as heat-shock proteins (hsp) PUBMED:2853609. Amongst them is a family of proteins with an average molecular weight of 20 Kd, known as the hsp20 proteins PUBMED:7925426. These seem to act as chaperones that can protect other proteins against heat-induced denaturation and aggregation. Hsp20 proteins seem to form large heterooligomeric aggregates. Structurally, this family is characterized by the presence of a conserved C-terminal domain of about 100 residues.
