Cct7 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein folding chaperone and unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chaperone mediated protein folding independent of cofactor; positive regulation of protein localization to Cajal body; and positive regulation of telomerase RNA localization to Cajal body. Predicted to act upstream of or within binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida. Predicted to be located in cell body and microtubule. Predicted to be part of chaperonin-containing T-complex. Orthologous to human CCT7 (chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 Cct7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
