Summary
This gene encodes the theta subunit of the CCT chaperonin, which is abundant in the eukaryotic cytosol and may be involved in the transport and assembly of newly synthesized proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene. A pseudogene related to this gene is located on chromosome 1. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Study demonstrated that CCT8 expression is widely upregulated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and enhanced the migration and invasion of ESCC cells, indicating that ectopic CCT8 expression contributes to the highly aggressive nature of ESCC probably by increasing alpha-actin and beta-tubulin expression.

  2. Ectopic expression of CCT8 also ameliorates the age-associated demise of proteostasis and corrects proteostatic deficiencies in worm models of Huntington's disease.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
