Predicted to enable Hsp90 protein binding activity and protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chaperone-mediated protein complex assembly and protein folding. Located in myofibril. Expressed in several structures, including amphid neurons; anal depressor muscle; phasmid neurons; touch receptor neurons; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atherosclerosis; breast cancer; and oligodendroglioma. Is an ortholog of human PTGES3 (prostaglandin E synthase 3).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
