bp(GO:"post-translational protein modification") regulates p(HGNCGENEFAMILY:"Small heat shock proteins") View Subject | View Object

sHSPs are tightly regulated by EPMs (e.g. phosphorylation) that enable them to respond upon stress and to perform their chaperone activities [25,26]. PubMed:24563850

bp(GO:"response to stress") increases p(HGNCGENEFAMILY:"Small heat shock proteins") View Subject | View Object

sHSPs are overexpressed upon many different types of stress as they are key components of the PN and PDR. PubMed:24563850

path(MESH:Neoplasms) increases p(HGNCGENEFAMILY:"Small heat shock proteins") View Subject | View Object

Specifically, they have been found overexpressed in many different diseases including various types of cancer where they contribute in reducing proteotoxic stress [7]. PubMed:24563850

Out-Edges 1

p(HGNCGENEFAMILY:"Small heat shock proteins") decreases path(MESH:"Protein Aggregation, Pathological") View Subject | View Object

These chaperones provide high-affinity binding platforms for unfolded proteins and prevent protein aggregation specifically during stress conditions. PubMed:24563850
