Expression of heat shock proteins in brain tumors
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
AIM: Heat shock proteins (HSP) are an evolutionary conserved family of proteins that serve as molecular chaperones, preventing the formation of nonspecific protein aggregates and assisting proteins in the acquisition of their native structures. Furthermore, HSPs have anti-apoptotic properties and have been found to be elevated in many human cancers; their overexpression has been associated with poor survival and...
