Rabbit anti-Human CCT3 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P49368

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CCT3

Target Full Name

T-complex protein 1 subunit gamma

Target Function

Component of the chaperonin-containing T-complex (TRiC), a molecular chaperone complex that assists the folding of proteins upon ATP hydrolysis. The TRiC complex mediates the folding of WRAP53/TCAB1, thereby regulating telomere maintenance. As part of the TRiC complex may play a role in the assembly of BBSome, a complex involved in ciliogenesis regulating transports vesicles to the cilia. The TRiC complex plays a role in the folding of actin and tubulin.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

TCP-1 chaperonin family

Target Synonyms

CCT 3; CCT gamma; CCT-gamma; CCT3; CCTG; Chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 3 (gamma); Chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 3; hTRiC5; PIG48; T complex protein 1 gamma subunit; T complex protein 1 subunit gamma; T-complex protein 1 subunit gamma; TCP 1 gamma; TCP-1-gamma; TCP1 (t complex 1) ring complex polypeptide 5; TCPG_HUMAN; TRIC5

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene 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. Alternate transcriptional splice variants have been characterized for this gene. In addition, a pseudogene of this gene has been found on chromosome 8.
