HSPs expression is regulated through several stressor events, mainly those derived from heat shock. Hence, HSPs contribute to protect the cells from heat stress and other types of stressors such as proteotoxic stress.Based on HSPs functions, they are classified into six families:
La expresión delas HSP está regulada por diversos eventos estresores, principalmente los que implican choque térmico; así las HSP contribuyen a proteger las células de este y otros tipos de estrés como el proteotóxico.
