CCT6A

T-complex protein 1 subunit zeta is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the CCT6A is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a molecular chaperone that is member of the chaperonin containing TCP1 complex (CCT), also known as the TCP1 ring complex (TRiC). This complex consists of two identical stacked rings, each containing eight different proteins. Unfolded polypeptides enter the central cavity of the complex and are folded in an ATP-dependent manner. The complex folds various proteins, including is_associated_with::actin and is_associated_with::tubulin. Alternate transcriptional splice variants of this gene, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.

Interactions
CCT6A has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::PPP4C.
