Examination of curcumin-induced heat shock protein gene expression in Xenopus laevis A6 kidney epithelial cells
The heat shock response is a cellular homeostatic mechanism that is activated in response to stressful stimuli (e.g. heat shock, heavy metals, disease states etc.), which causes an increase in unfolded protein, which triggers the expression of heat shock protein (hsp) genes. HSPs are molecular chape...
