Abstract:

Constant body temperature is crucial for maintaining life activities. Homeostatic animals require endogenous heat sources. The direct consequence of hypothermia in animals under cold conditions is the inhibition of protein synthesis at the overall cellular level, while the expressions of cold-inducible RNA binding protein (CIRP), RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3), uncoupling protein (UCP), heat shock proteins (HSPs) and a few cytokines are elevated, which ensures the homeostasis and survival of cells in cold environments. This paper summarizes the recent research progress on cold-inducible proteins and related molecules in animals, in hoping to provide insights into the in-depth research of cold-inducible proteins.

Key words: heat production, cold stress, mammal, apoptosis, cold-inducible protein
