Rabbit anti-Human CCT5 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P48643

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CCT5

Target Full Name

T-complex protein 1 subunit epsilon

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 Involvement

Neuropathy, hereditary sensory, with spastic paraplegia, autosomal recessive (HSNSP)

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome.

Target Protein Families

TCP-1 chaperonin family

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. Mutations in this gene cause hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy with spastic paraplegia (HSNSP). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 5 and 13.
