This book reviews current understanding of the biological roles of
extracellular molecular chaperones. It provides an overview of the
structure and function of molecular chaperones, their role in the
cellular response to stress and their disposition within the cell.
It also questions the basic paradigm of molecular chaperone biology
- that these proteins are first-and-foremost protein-folding
molecules. The current paradigms of protein secretion are reviewed
and the evolving concept of proteins (such as molecular chaperones)
as multi-functional molecules for which the term 'moonlighting
proteins' has been introduced is discussed. The role of exogenous
molecular chaperones as cell regulators is examined and the
physiological and pathophysiological role that molecular chaperones
play is described. In the final section, the potential therapeutic
use of molecular chaperones is described and the final chapter asks
the question - what does the future hold for the extracellular
biology of molecular chaperones?
