A) cold shock proteins.
B) heat shock proteins.
C) chaperone proteins.
D) transcription proteins.
E) hormones.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heat shock proteins are a group of proteins that are synthesized by cells in response to stressful conditions such as high temperature. They assist in the folding of other proteins, prevent protein aggregation, and help to stabilize the internal cellular environment. Cold shock proteins, chaperone proteins, transcription proteins, and hormones do not specifically function in response to high temperature stress.
