Molecular Chaperones in the Kidney

Abstract excerpt

The normal milieu of the kidney includes hypoxia, large osmotic fluxes, and an enormous amount of fluid/solute reabsorption. Renal adaptation to these conditions requires a host of molecular chaperones that stabilize protein conformation, target nascent proteins to their final intracellular destination, and prevent protein aggregation. Under physiologic or pharmacologic stress, inducible molecular chaperones...
