Protein Chaperones (GRP78/HSP70/HSP90/HSP27) (N/A)
- Target
- N/A
- Molecular classification
- Protein Chaperone, Heat Shock Protein (HSP)
01
Overview
Protein chaperones are a diverse group of proteins that assist in the correct folding, assembly, and stabilization of other proteins within the cell. They play crucial roles in maintaining protein homeostasis by preventing misfolding and aggregation, especially under stress conditions. Key members include GRP78 (BiP), HSP70, HSP90, and HSP27, each with distinct localization and client proteins. Dysregulation of chaperones is implicated in various diseases, making them potential therapeutic targets.
