PFDN1

Also known as PDF, PFD1, prefoldin subunit 1

Prefoldin subunit 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PFDN1 gene.

Gene data

PFDN1

Name: prefoldin subunit 1
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: PDF, PFD1

This gene encodes a member of the prefoldin beta subunit family. The encoded protein is one of six subunits of prefoldin, a molecular chaperone complex that binds and stabilizes newly synthesized polypeptides, thereby allowing them to fold correctly. The complex, consisting of two alpha and four beta subunits, forms a double beta barrel assembly with six protruding coiled-coils. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
