gene: hsp-12.2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables heat shock protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein refolding and response to heat. Located in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2F; cataract (multiple); and myofibrillar myopathy (multiple). Is an ortholog of human CRYAA (crystallin alpha A); CRYAB (crystallin alpha B); and HSPB6 (heat shock protein family B (small) member 6).
