Abstract

Heat shock proteins (HSP) are ubiquitously expressed proteins for cell growth and viability in all living organisms. The expression and regulation system of HSP is the basis of self-defense and stress response for organisms to response to various internal and external environmental stresses. In this review, recent investigations in HSP of crustaceans are described, which examine roles of HSP in protection of crustaceans from various stress influences. The review also summarizes current understanding of HSP functions in crustaceans’ defense response to pathogens infections and other environmental and physiologic stresses. HSP have wilder roles in health of crustaceans, in relation to the immune response to various stressors.
