Heat shock proteins (HSP) are a family of proteins that are produced by cells in response to exposure to stressful conditions and were frequently marked in the abstracts about oxidative stress. N-Acetylglucosamine or GlcNAc is a derivative of glucose and is a substrate of OGT--one of the most commonly marked drug/treatments from the O-linked Glycosylation Disorders doc set. Because it is readily available for purchase, Matt Might tested the substance on himself before trying it on Bertrand with surprising results--Bertrand was able to produce some tears. Help us learn more about how GlcNAc can affect the cellular stress response by marking these docs.
