Conservation of coding and untranslated regions of heat shock protein Beta-1 (HSPB1) gene and its expression pattern in heat stressed peripheral blood mononuclear cells of Indian native cattle (Bos indicus) and riverine buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)

- HSPBI cDNA of Indian cattle characterized and compared with riverine buffaloes.
- Coding and UTRs of HSPB1 gene sequenced in 181 animals of 12 native cattle breeds.
- HSPB1 gene highly conserved across different cattle types and buffaloes.
- Expression analysis confirmed heat responsive nature of HSPB1 gene.
- Expression data of HSPB1 indicated lower tolerance to heat stress for buffalo's PBMCs.
