CLPB
Encyclopedia
Caseinolytic peptidase B protein homolog is an enzyme
that in humans is encoded by the CLPB gene
., which encodes an ATP-dependent protease and chaperone; it is a chaperone involved in disaggregating proteins and also has a role in de novo protein synthesis under mild stress conditions
Enzyme
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates...
