Protein-specific chaperones: the role of hsp47 begins to gel

Curr Biol. 2000 Dec;10(24):R912-5. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(00)00850-2.

Abstract

Collagen biosynthesis involves a complex series of post-translational modifications, controlled by a number of general and specific molecular chaperones. A recent study has shed new light on the role played in this process by the procollagen-specific chaperone Hsp47.
