Description | Hsp90 is a human heat shock protein. In response to adverse change in their environment, cell from all organisms increase the expression of a class of proteins referred to as heat shock or stress protein. The Hsp90, a highly conserved stress-induced protein, is abundantly expressed in most tissues under non-stress conditions and is required for eukaryotic cell viability. Hsp90 is primarily a cytoplasmic protein and its function remains unknown. It exists in a dimeric form and has been observed to bind to several other cellular proteins such as retro-virus kinases, steroid receptor, heme-regulated protein kinase, actin and tubulin. |
