CCT7 chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 7

Gene ID: 10574, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CCTH; CCTETA; NIP7-1; TCP1ETA

Summary

This gene encodes a molecular chaperone that is a member of the chaperonin containing TCP1 complex (CCT), also known as the TCP1 ring complex (TRiC). This complex consists of two identical stacked rings, each containing eight different proteins. Unfolded polypeptides enter the central cavity of the complex and are folded in an ATP-dependent manner. The complex folds various proteins, including actin and tubulin. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 5 and 6. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
