What Types of Proteins Can Benefit from Chaperone Therapies?
Chaperone therapies are particularly beneficial for proteins that are prone to misfolding due to genetic mutations, environmental stresses, or other factors. This includes a wide array of enzymes, transport proteins, and structural proteins. Conditions like cystic fibrosis, lysosomal storage disorders, and some neurodegenerative diseases often involve protein misfolding, making them prime targets for chaperone-based interventions.
