This is a review on HSP90AB1 (heat shock protein 90 kDA alpha, class B, member 1), also known as HSP90beta.
HSP90AB1 binds to all kinds of proteins including steroid hormone receptors, transcription factors, ubiqitin ligases and kinases.
HSP90AB1 is a chaperone that stabilizes proteins in a properly folded structure, but is also involved in protein transport and degradation.
Inhibition of HSP90AB1 function is a promising therapeutic approach for a variety of diseases including cancer and inflammatory diseases.
