HSCB
Description
The HSCB gene, located on chromosome 17, codes for the Heat Shock Cognate 71 kDa protein (HSC71). This protein plays a crucial role in protein folding, assembly, and transport within cells, acting as a molecular chaperone. HSC71 is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and protecting cells from stress. Its involvement in various cellular processes highlights its importance in overall health.
