FAMILY
  • prefolding beta subunit family
    • CATEGORY chaperone/stress , structural protein
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION
    basic FUNCTION
  • assisting in the correct folding of other proteins
  • transfering target proteins to cytosolic chaperonin (C-CPN)(Vainberg 1998)
  • promoting folding of nascent polypeptide chain in an environment in which there are many competing pathway for nonnative proteins
    • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, post translation, folding
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
