pfd-3

Gene
pfd-3
Protein
Probable prefoldin subunit 3
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Length
185 amino acids
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 (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the prefoldin subunit alpha family.
