heat shock protein — n any of a group of proteins that were orig. isolated from certain bacteria exposed to heat, that occur esp. in cells subjected to heat stress, that keep the proteins in the cell from unraveling, and that are either identical with or comprise a… … Medical dictionary
Heat Shock Protein — Hitzeschockproteine (engl. Heat Shock Protein, HSP) sind Proteine, die anderen Proteinen bei der Faltung oder bei der Erhaltung ihrer Sekundärstruktur unter Extrembedingungen helfen. Sie werden in erhöhtem Maße gebildet, nachdem Zellen Hitze oder … Deutsch Wikipedia
Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) internal ribosome entry site (IRES) — The heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) internal ribosome entry site (IRES) is an RNA element that allows cap independent translation during conditions such as heat shock and stress. It has been shown that the 216 nucleotide long 5 UTR contains… … Wikipedia
Heat shock protein — Protéine de choc thermique Les protéines de choc thermique ou HSP (pour Heat Shock Proteins), sont une classe de protéines chaperonnes initialement découvertes en raison de leur inductibilité par la chaleur. Leur rôle, crucial pour toutes les… … Wikipédia en Français
heat shock protein — Abbreviation: HSP A class of protein chaperones which are typically over expressed as a response to heat stress. Two such proteins HSP 90 and HSP 70 have a role in ensuring that crucial proteins are folded into the correct conformation. Synonym:… … Glossary of Biotechnology
Small heat shock protein — Kleine Hitzeschockproteine (engl. small heat shock proteins, kurz sHsps) sind Proteine mit Molekülmassen von 12 bis 42 kDa. Sie gehören zur Familie der Hitzeschockproteine, die bei Hitze und anderen zellulären Stresssituationen vermehrt gebildet… … Deutsch Wikipedia
heat shock protein — noun : any of a group of proteins that are produced especially in cells subjected to stressful conditions (as high temperature) and that serve to ensure the proper folding of proteins and are considered to comprise a class of molecular chaperones … Useful english dictionary
Heat shock — In biochemistry, heat shock is the effect of subjecting a cell to a higher temperature than that of the ideal body temperature of the organism from which the cell line was derived. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a part of the cell s internal… … Wikipedia
