“Molecular Chaperones”  

  In protein science, Molecular Chaperones, in our body's cells, are a family of cellular proteins that mediate the correct assembly or disassembly of polypeptides and their associated ligands.
  In our body's cells, Molecular Chaperones take part in the assembly process of polypeptides, but are not components of the final structures.

In our body, Molecular Chaperones are able to inhibit the aggregation of partially denatured proteins and refold them.

  Examples of cellular molecular chaperones include:

• alpha-Crystallins
  • alpha-crystallin A chain
  • alpha-crystallin B chain
• clusterin
• Heat-Shock Proteins
  • *
• Histone Chaperones
  • *
• Metallochaperones
• Neuroendocrine Secretory Protein 7B2
• SMN protein complex include:
  • DEAD box protein 20
  • Survival of Motor Neuron 1 Protein
  • Survival of Motor Neuron 2 Protein
