    small protein that helps protect cells from stress

    Heat Shock Protein 27 (HSP27), also known as HSPB1, is a small protein that helps protect cells from stress by preventing the aggregation of damaged proteins and assisting in their proper folding. It plays a crucial role in cellular responses to heat shock, oxidative stress, and other environmental stressors, and is also involved in processes like apoptosis (programmed cell death) and inflammation.
