HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY	TCP-1 chaperonin family
	TF50-TCP-1 family

CATEGORY

chaperone/stress

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic

basic FUNCTION	involved in the folding of tubulin, actin and in neurogenesis
	decreases concomitantly with the reduction of chaperone activity during cell cycle arrest at M phase
	required for maturation of sphingosine kinase 1 (Zebol 2009)
	CCT complex is responsible for the folding of a number of proteins including actin and tubulin (Kabir 2009)
