Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 12462 |
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 and unfolded protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida. Located in cell body. Part of chaperonin-containing T-complex and zona pellucida receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; fronto-nasal process; and limb. Orthologous to human CCT3 (chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a transgenic gene disruption may exhibit lethality at E8. [provided by MGI curators] |
