Which is the heats shock protein that binds to the glucocorticoid receptor when the hormone is absent? Correct Answer Hsp 90
In the absence of hormones, a heat-shock protein, hsp90, binds to the receptor. This helps to avoid folding of the receptor protein into its active conformation. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are specific proteins that are made when cells are briefly exposed to temperatures above their normal growth temperature.
