CCT8 chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 8

Gene ID: 10694, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: Cctq; PRED71; D21S246; C21orf112

Summary

This gene encodes the theta subunit of the CCT chaperonin, which is abundant in the eukaryotic cytosol and may be involved in the transport and assembly of newly synthesized proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene. A pseudogene related to this gene is located on chromosome 1. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
