Pfdn6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable amyloid-beta binding activity; protein-folding chaperone binding activity; and unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chaperone-mediated protein complex assembly; negative regulation of amyloid fibril formation; and protein folding. Predicted to be part of RPAP3/R2TP/prefoldin-like complex and prefoldin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human PFDN6 (prefoldin subunit 6).

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 rat Pfdn6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
