Significance and Uses
Inducible heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is a stress protein whose expression is upregulated when the cell or organism is placed under conditions of stress. Hsp70 is essential for cellular recovery, survival and maintenance of normal cellular function. It is also a molecular chaperone that prevents protein aggregation and refolds damaged proteins in response to cellular stress caused by environmental insults, pathogens and disease. Current research is aimed at exploiting Hsp70's cellular protective abilities as a therapeutic strategy against damaging cellular stress.
