Abstract: Heat shock protein 90(Hsp90)is one of the most extensive molecular chaperones in cells, indirect regulation of intracellular multiple and cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival, diapause, apoptosis and related signal transduction pathway. In recent years, awareness of Hsp90 family members at the molecular level, Hsp90 has become immune cells, signal transduction and anti-tumor research frontiers. Insects functional genome research is a worldwide craze, heat shock protein related to insect diapause research also unceasingly thorough. This article summarized the biological characteristics of Hsp90 at home and abroad in recent years, the biological function of Hsp90 and its control research present situation and prospect in insect, in order to provide references information for the research of integrated pest control.
