CCT2
Description
The CCT2 (chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.
CCT2 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in protein folding.
CCT2 is a component of the chaperonin-containing T-complex (TRiC), a molecular chaperone complex that assists in the folding of proteins during ATP hydrolysis. TRiC is involved in the folding of WRAP53/TCAB1, which regulates telomere maintenance. It also potentially plays a role in the assembly of the BBSome complex, which is important for ciliogenesis and transport of vesicles to the cilia. Additionally, TRiC is involved in the folding of actin and tubulin.
CCT2 is also known as 99D8.1, CCT-beta, CCTB, HEL-S-100n, PRO1633, TCP-1-beta.
