prefoldin subunit 2 (PFDN2, HSPC231)

Function

• binds specifically to cytosolic chaperonin (c-CPN) & transfers target proteins to it
• binds to nascent polypeptide chain & promotes folding in an environment in which there are many competing pathways for nonnative proteins

Structure

belongs to the prefoldin subunit beta family

More general terms

• protein subunit
