Because Hsp90 works so flexibly to stabilize proteins it becomes a problem by helping oncogenic proteins function. However this is also a potential tool in fighting cancer by Hsp90 inhibition. Hsp90 has a high basal expression compared to most other heat shock proteins. If the organism is not under environmental stress Hsp90 may not be needed at high levels for homeostasis. However cancer cells are highly reliant on it. The largest interest in the recent study of Hsp90 is its use a cancer treatment | Because Hsp90 works so flexibly to stabilize proteins it becomes a problem by helping oncogenic proteins function.
