Abstract- Heat shock proteins are categorised into several families that are named on the basis of their approximate molecular mass (e.g. the 70 kDa Hsp70). Under physiological conditions, some of these proteins function as molecular chaperones or proteases that have a number of intracellular functions. Chaperones are involved in the assembly and folding of oligomeric proteins, whereas proteases such as the ubiquitin-dependent proteasome mediate the degradation of damaged proteins.
Keywords- Heat shock proteins, proteases, oligomeric, proteasome
