    GlossaryHeat Shock Proteins

    help cells survive stress by stabilizing and refolding damaged proteins

    Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) are a group of proteins that are produced by cells in response to stressful conditions, such as elevated temperatures, toxins, or other environmental stressors. They function as molecular chaperones, helping to stabilize and refold damaged proteins, thereby protecting cells from stress-induced damage. HSPs are crucial for maintaining cellular function and integrity, and their role is significant in various biological processes, including protein homeostasis and the stress response.
