Cct5 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including G-protein beta-subunit binding activity; beta-tubulin binding activity; and mRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida. Located in cell body. Part of chaperonin-containing T-complex. Is expressed in 1st branchial arch mandibular component and mandible primordium. Orthologous to human CCT5 (chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 5).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cct5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
