- Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) internal ribosome entry site (IRES)
The heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) internal ribosome entry site (IRES) is an RNA element that allows cap independent
translation during conditions such as heat shock and stress. It has been shown that the 216nucleotide long5' UTR containsinternal ribosome entry site activity.
