Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIMS Heat shock protein (HSP)47 is a collagen-specific chaperone, essential for the correct formation of fibrillar procollagens. Collagen accumulation in the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a hallmark of fibrogenesis. The expression of HSP47 is proportional to the rate of collagen formation. Thus, HSP47 is a potential drug target for fibrotic diseases. We […]
