Hsp90 (heat shock protein 90) is a chaperone protein that assists other proteins to fold properly stabilizes proteins against heat stress and aids in protein degradation. It also stabilizes a number of proteins required for tumor growth which is why Hsp90 inhibitors are investigated as anti-cancer drugs.Heat shock proteins as a class are among the most highly expressed cellular proteins across all species.
