CCT4

CCT4 (Chaperonin Containing TCP1 Subunit 4) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CCT4 include Syndromic X-Linked Intellectual Disability Snyder Type. Among its related pathways are Organelle biogenesis and maintenance and Chaperonin-mediated protein folding. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include unfolded protein binding.

Full Name

Chaperonin Containing TCP1 Subunit 4

Function

Component of the chaperonin-containing T-complex (TRiC), a molecular chaperone complex that assists the folding of proteins upon ATP hydrolysis (PubMed:25467444).
The TRiC complex mediates the folding of WRAP53/TCAB1, thereby regulating telomere maintenance (PubMed:25467444).
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 (PubMed:20080638).
The TRiC complex plays a role in the folding of actin and tubulin (Probable).
