Type:
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that plays a critical role in the proper folding, stabilization, and function of many proteins, including those involved in cell signaling, cell cycle regulation, and stress responses.
-Hsp90 interacts with a variety of client proteins that are often mutated or overexpressed in cancer. These include oncogenes (like HER2, BRAF, and AKT) and tumor suppressor proteins (like p53).
-Hsp90 is often overexpressed in cancer cells, which can help them survive under stressful conditions, such as those found in the tumor microenvironment. This overexpression is associated with poor prognosis in several types of cancer.
-HSPs, particularly HSP90, are known to stabilize many proteins that drive cancer progression (oncoproteins).
