pfd-4 encodes a putative prefoldin subunit 4, orthologous to human PFDN4 (OMIM:604898), that is dispensable for viability; PFD-4 is redundant for prefoldin function in C. elegans; pfd-4(gk403) mutants and pfd-4(RNAi) animals, unlike animals undergoing RNAi against most prefoldin subunits, have no obvious phenotypes.
Predicted to enable unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein folding. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of prefoldin complex. Is an ortholog of human PFDN4 (prefoldin subunit 4).
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.
