Narrower Terms

heat shock protein

Related Terms

heme oxygenase, molecular chaperone

Scope Note

family of highly conserved, specific proteins produced by prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in response to heat shock or other stressor; some may protect other proteins from denaturation or degradation.

• 2000 The 170-kDa glucose-regulated stress protein is an endoplasmic reticulum protein that binds immunoglobulin HY Lin, P Masso-Welch, YP Di, JW Cai, JW Shen and JR Subjeck Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, New York 14263.
• The 170-kDa glucose-regulated stress protein is an endoplasmic reticulum protein that binds immunoglobulin.
• Degradation of the light-stress protein is mediated by an ATP-independent, serine-type protease under low-light conditions.
• The present invention also relates to compositions comprising a stress protein joined to another component, such as a fusion protein in which a stress protein is fused to an antigen.
