abstract：:Heat shock protein 90-alpha (Hsp90alpha) is an intracellular molecular chaperone. However, it can also be secreted with the underlying regulatory mechanism remaining far from clear. Here we show that the secreted Hsp90alpha is a C-terminal truncated form and its secretion is regulated by the C-terminal EEVD motif via ...
