Cct8 - chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 8 Gene

Predicted to enable protein folding chaperone and unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of protein localization; positive regulation of Telomerase RNA localization to Cajal body; and positive regulation of telomere maintenance via Telomerase. Predicted to act upstream of or within binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida; pore complex assembly; and toxin transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell body; cytoskeleton; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of chaperonin-containing T-complex and zona pellucida receptor complex. Orthologous to human CCT8 (chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 8).
