Heat shock protein beta-6 (HSPB6) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HSPB6 gene.
HSPB6 is a 17-kDa member of the heat shock family of proteins. HSPB6 was first identified in 1994 when it was isolated from rat and human skeletal muscle as a complex with HSPB1 (also known as HSP27) and HSPB5 (also known as αB-crystallin).
