Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a large family of very conserved proteins with important
roles in cellular homeostasis and cytoprotection from chronic or acute stressors. As …

The HSP70 heat-shock proteins are molecular chaperones that assist other proteins in their
folding, transport and assembly into complexes. Most of these proteins are either …

Abstract The Hspa1b (Hsp70. 1) gene is one of the first genes expressed after fertilization,
with expression occurring during the minor zygotic genome activation in the absence of …

HSPA2 (formerly HSP70. 2) is a testis-specific member of the HSP70 family known to play a
critical role in the completion of meiosis during male germ cell differentiation. Although …

Objective To investigate the effect of knockdown heat shock transcription factor 5 (Hsf5) on
the expression of heat shock family in mouse Leydig cells (TM3) and Sertoli cells (TM4) …

Heat shock protein A2 (HSPA2) is a testis-specific molecular chaperone of the 70 kDa heat
shock protein (HSP70) family and reported to play a key role in spermatogenesis as well as …

Quality-control mechanisms in spermatogenesis are important to eliminate injured or
abnormal cells, thereby protecting the organism from abnormal development in the next …

Heat stress is a major concern in animal reproduction, as testicular temperature must be 3–
5° C below body core temperature for production of motile and fertile sperm in mammals …

The Hspa1b gene is one of the first genes expressed after fertilization, with expression
observed in the male pronucleus as early as the one-cell stage of embryogenesis. This …

The molecular chaperone heat shock protein A2 (HSPA2), a member of the 70 kDa heat
shock protein (HSP70) family, plays an important role in spermatogenesis and male fertility …
