Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein folding chaperone; ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity; and unfolded protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida. Located in several cellular components, including acrosomal vesicle; heterochromatin; and pericentriolar material. Part of chaperonin-containing T-complex and zona pellucida receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; humerus; and immune system. Orthologous to human TCP1 (t-complex 1). PHENOTYPE: There are two electrophoretic alleles known; allele a occurs in all complete t haplotype chromosomes and allele b in wild-type strains. There are multiple changes between the amino acid sequences of the TCP1A and TCP1B proteins encoded by the two alleles. [provided by MGI curators] |
