Because over expression of Hsp70 molecular chaperones suppresses the toxicity of aberrantly folded proteins that occur in Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and various polyQ-diseases (Huntington's disease and ataxias), Hsp70 is garnering attention as a possible therapeutic agent for these various diseases. Here, I review progress in this fascinating field of molecular chaperones and neurodegeneration and describe our current understanding of the mechanisms by which Hsp70 protects cells from the PD-relared protein called alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn).
