Heat shock protein HSP90-beta (HSP90β)

Target
HSP90β
Molecular classification
Heat shock protein 90 family, Molecular chaperone
01

Overview

Heat shock protein HSP90-beta (HSP90β) is a molecular chaperone encoded by the *HSP90AB1* gene. It assists in protein folding, refolding, and stabilization, and targets damaged proteins for degradation. It's essential for cellular proteostasis and is upregulated under stress. HSP90β supports multiple disease-relevant pathways, particularly in cancer, making it a target for drug development. However, clinical translation faces challenges due to toxicity and compensatory mechanisms.
