Analysis of heat shock protein 30 gene expression and function in Xenopus laevis A6 kidney epithelial cells
Khan, Saad (University of Waterloo, 2014-04-30)Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones that assist in protein synthesis, folding and degradation and prevent stress-induced protein aggregation. The present study examined the pattern of accumulation of HSP30 ... -
Examination of curcumin-induced heat shock protein gene expression in Xenopus laevis A6 kidney epithelial cells
Khan, Saad (University of Waterloo, 2010-08-11)The heat shock response is a cellular homeostatic mechanism that is activated in response to stressful stimuli (e.g. heat shock, heavy metals, disease states etc.), which causes an increase in unfolded protein, which ...
