Summary: Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to unfolded protein and positive regulation of aggrephagy. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein folding chaperone complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuronopathy 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2L and autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuronopathy 2. Orthologous to human HSPB8 (heat shock protein family B (small) member 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
