Five chaperones involved in intracellular stress responses, namely heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 9 (HSPA9), heat shock protein 90 beta family member 1 (HSP90B1), calnexin (CANX), malectin (MLEC; endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation), and heat shock protein family D (Hsp60) member 1 (HSPD1), were consistently upregulated in involved and uninvolved skin of patients with AD. This evidence concerns the gene HSPD1 and Alzheimer disease.
