An Entity of Type: chemical compound, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A pharmacological chaperone or pharmacoperone is a drug that acts as a protein chaperone. That is, it contains small molecules that enter cells and serve as a molecular scaffolding in order to cause otherwise-misfolded mutant proteins to fold and route correctly within the cell. Diseases that may be susceptible to such treatments include diabetes, inherited cataracts and cystic fibrosis.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Pharmakologische Chaperone, auch Pharmacoperone genannt, sind organische Verbindungen, die als reversible Inhibitoren spezifisch an ungefaltete Proteine binden und dadurch die Faltungsdynamik der Proteine in Richtung ihrer richtigen Konformation verschieben und diese stabilisieren. (de)
  • A pharmacological chaperone or pharmacoperone is a drug that acts as a protein chaperone. That is, it contains small molecules that enter cells and serve as a molecular scaffolding in order to cause otherwise-misfolded mutant proteins to fold and route correctly within the cell. Mutation of proteins often causes molecular misfolding, which results in protein misrouting within the cell. Accordingly, mutant molecules may retain proper function but end up in parts of the cell where the function is inappropriate, or even deleterious, to cell function. Misfolded proteins are usually recognized by the quality-control system of the cell and retained (and often destroyed or recycled) in the endoplasmic reticulum. Pharmacoperones correct the folding of misfolded proteins, allowing them to pass through the cell's quality-control system and become correctly routed. Since mutations often cause disease by causing misfolding and misrouting, pharmacoperones are potentially therapeutic agents, since they are able to correct this defect. Diseases that may be susceptible to such treatments include diabetes, inherited cataracts and cystic fibrosis. (en)
