Hsp60

Hsp60 is a protein found inside cells that acts like a molecular chaperone, helping other proteins fold into their correct shapes. Proper protein folding is essential for their function, and Hsp60 ensures this process occurs efficiently, especially during cell stress or damage. It’s mainly located in mitochondria, the cell’s energy producers, and plays a key role in maintaining healthy cell function. By assisting in protein quality control, Hsp60 contributes to cell survival and overall health.
