| UniProt code: P50991. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| 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). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20080638, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25467444, ECO:0000305}. | |
| Subunit: | Component of the chaperonin-containing T-complex (TRiC), a heterooligomeric complex of about 850 to 900 kDa that forms two stacked rings, 12 to 16 nm in diameter (PubMed:20080638, PubMed:25467444). Interacts with PACRG (PubMed:14532270). Interacts with DNAAF4 (By similarity). Interacts with DLEC1 (PubMed:33144677). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P80315, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14532270, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20080638, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25467444, ECO:0000269|PubMed:33144677}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17081065, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20080638}. Melanosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17081065}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14654843, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20080638}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P80315}. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17081065}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the TCP-1 chaperonin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
