HSP90

HSP90 is a type of protein called a chaperone, vital for maintaining the health of cells. It helps other proteins fold correctly, stabilize their structure, and function properly, especially under stress conditions. HSP90 is involved in many processes, including cell growth, signaling, and response to damage. Because of its role in supporting essential proteins, it is also linked to diseases like cancer, where it helps cancer cells survive. Scientists study HSP90 to understand cell biology better and to develop treatments that can target its activity in diseases.
