摘要
The family of HSP60 belongs to heat shock proteins with highly species conservatism and some important biologic functions. It can help other proteins for their assembling, folding and translocating, and plays a role in protecting cells against injuries and other types of stress. In addition, HSP60 is frequently recognized by the immune system as predominant antigens during infections and the progression of certain autoimmune diseases and might provide a novel strategy for the development of immunotherapeutics. This review focuses on distribution, molecular chaperone mechanism, function and gene expression regulation of HSP60. [
