Biological function summary
Hsp70 operates by stabilizing intermediate states of folding proteins preventing aggregation and facilitating the correct folding process. It often forms a complex with co-chaperones such as Hsp40 and nucleotide exchange factors. This complex is essential for the protein's activity and function. Additionally Hsp70 participates in protein degradation pathways by guiding misfolded proteins to the proteasome for degradation maintaining cellular homeostasis.
Pathways
This molecular chaperone plays significant roles in the heat shock response and unfolded protein response pathways. Hsp70 interacts closely with proteins such as Hsp90 and co-chaperones which together help protect cells from stress-induced damage. The protein also participates in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway influencing cell proliferation and apoptosis. These interactions suggest an integral role in maintaining cellular integrity during stress conditions.
