Abstract excerpt
The 90-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) is the most abundant molecular chaperone in eukaryotic cells. Hsp90 plays a critical role in regulating signal transduction pathways that control cell proliferation since its chaperone function is restricted to a subset of proteins including some signal molecules. Improper function of these proteins can be induced by an anti-tumor agent geldanamycin (GA) which is the specific...
