Chaperone-Dependent Protein Transport

Chaperone-dependent protein transport involves specialized proteins called chaperones that assist other proteins in moving within a cell. Proteins are made in one part of the cell and often need to reach specific destinations to do their job. Chaperones help these proteins stay properly folded and prevent them from clumping together during transport. They guide the proteins through cellular compartments, ensuring safe and accurate delivery. This process is essential for maintaining cell function and health, especially for proteins that are sensitive or difficult to transport without assistance.
