Description

cct-7 encodes a putative eta subunit of the eukaryotic cytosolic ('T complex') chaperonin, orthologous to human CCT7 (OMIM:605140); CCT-7 is expressed in most, if not all, tissues; in mass RNAi assays, CCT-7 is required for normal transgene repression and subcellular localization, embryonic and larval viability, fertility, vulval development, and normal locomotion.
