Zebrafish Cct5 Antibody / TCP1 epsilon

CCT5 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. Mutations in this gene cause hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy with spastic paraplegia (HSNSP) . Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 5 and 13.
