Abstract: Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is an evolutionarily highly conserved protein, with a variety of biological functions, including the molecular chaperone function, cell protection and anti-apoptosis function, involved in immune-regulation, and playing an important role in the study of viral infections and diseases. This article is reviewed focused on the structure and function of HSP70 progress.
