Protein
Probable prefoldin subunit 1
Organism
Caenorhabditis briggsae
Function
Binds specifically to cytosolic chaperonin (c-CPN) and transfers target proteins to it. Binds to nascent polypeptide chain and promotes folding in an environment in which there are many competing pathways for nonnative proteins. Has a role in gonadogenesis (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the prefoldin subunit beta family.
