Summary: Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity and adenyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chaperone-mediated protein complex assembly; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and protein insertion into mitochondrial outer membrane. Predicted to be located in extracellular exosome and lipid droplet. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in cerebral cortex and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Chagas disease. Orthologous to human HSPA4 (heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
