The role of heat shock proteins in reproduction
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
Heat shock proteins (HSP) were first identified in cells after exposure to elevated temperature. Subsequently HSP have been identified as a critical component of a very complex and highly conserved cellular defence mechanism to preserve cell survival under adverse environmental conditions. HSP are preferentially expressed in response to an array of insults, including hyperthermia, free oxygen radicals, heavy...
