CCT8, Official Symbol CCT8provided by HGNC Official Full Name chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 8provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:1623 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000156261 MIM:617786; AllianceGenome:HGNC:1623 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status VALIDATED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as Cctq; PRED71; D21S246; C21orf112 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.
