“…By using ATP, and working in concert with other chaperones and co-chaperones, the members of the Hsp70-family take part in nearly all of the typical intracellular chaperone functions, including protein folding [21,22,30,38], refolding of damaged proteins [68], inhibition of aggregation [30,38], resolubilization of aggregated proteins [73], the transport of several proteins [30,38], and the control of several signal transduction pathways [9,60], including the induction of senescence [24]. Furthermore, Hsp70 proteins are also involved in many processes outside the cell, including cytoprotection [36,37,41], cytokine-releasing effects, and the modulation of various immune functions [39,51,53,54,64,65,72,76,84].…”
