CCT3 chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 3

Gene ID: 7203, updated on 22-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CCTG; PIG48; TRIC5; CCT-gamma; TCP-1-gamma

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is 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. Alternate transcriptional splice variants have been characterized for this gene. In addition, a pseudogene of this gene has been found on chromosome 8. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
