molekyylisäätimet
Molekyylisäätimet, also known as molecular chaperones, are a group of proteins that assist in the folding, assembly, and transport of other proteins within the cell. They do not become part of the final structure of the protein they help, but rather facilitate the process. Their primary function is to prevent misfolding and aggregation of proteins, which can lead to cellular dysfunction and disease.
These molecular chaperones are found in all types of cells, from bacteria to eukaryotes, and play crucial
Some molecular chaperones, like heat shock proteins (HSPs), are produced in increased amounts when cells are
Dysfunction of molecular chaperones has been implicated in a range of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders like
