Abstract
hHep1 (human Hsp70-escort protein 1) is a small molecular chaperone often found in the mitochondria, aiding in the import of nuclear-encoded proteins. Under heat stress conditions, it is also found in the nucleus and cytoplasm, playing a crucial role in maintaining cellular proteostasis. hHep1 directly interacts with Hsp70s, increasing their solubility, preventing its aggregation and stim…
