Abstract excerpt
The heat shock protein 70 family members Hsc70 and Hsp70 are known to play a protective role against the onset of experimental pancreatitis, yet their molecular function in acini is unclear. Cysteine string protein (CSP-alpha) is a zymogen granule (ZG) membrane protein characterized by an NH(2)-terminal "J domain" and a central palmitoylated string of cysteine residues. The J domain functions as a cochaperone by...
