Despite decades of intensive investigation, important questions remain regarding the
functional, ecological, and evolutionary roles of heat shock proteins. In this paper, we …

In response to most stressors, fish will elicit a generalized physiological stress response,
which involves the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-interrenal axis (HPI). As in other …

Stress proteins (heat-shock proteins, HSPs), which comprise an evolutionally wellconserved
protein family, are induced in response to a variety of stress conditions and metabolic …

The 70-kDa family of heat shock proteins plays an important role as molecular chaperones
in unstressed and stressed cells. The constitutive member of the 70 family (hsc70) is crucial …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs), originally identified as heat-inducible gene products, are a
family of highly conserved proteins that respond to a wide variety of stress including …

The focus of this review is on the regulation and expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs),
in fish. Within the past decade, molecular studies pertaining to the isolation and …

Previous research on the Antarctic notothenioid fish Trematomus bernacchii demonstrated
the loss of the heat shock response (HSR), a classical cellular defense mechanism against …

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have been extensively utilized for understanding mechanisms of
development. These studies have led to a wealth of resources including genetic tools …

Previous research on Antarctic notothenioid fishes demonstrated the loss of the heat-shock
response characterized by the rapid synthesis of molecular chaperones in response to …

Temperature stress is recognized as a teratogenic factor that induces deformities during the
embryonic development of teleosts. In order to further elaborate the mechanisms involved …
