hsp-25 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein refolding and response to heat. Located in M band and striated muscle dense body. Expressed in body wall musculature; gonad; pharynx; and spermatheca. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2L and distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type 2A. Is an ortholog of human HSPB8 (heat shock protein family B (small) member 8).
