Dual Functions of Heat Shock Proteins : Molecular Chaperones Inside of Cells and Danger Signals Outside of Cells

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are induced by various environmental (physical, chemical and biological) stresses in virtually all organisms. Most HSPs are also synthesized constitutively at normal growth temperatures, and possess fundamental and indispensable functions in protein biogenesis through thei...
