Protein function (UniProt)

Molecular chaperone MKKS

Probable molecular chaperone that assists the folding of proteins upon ATP hydrolysis (PubMed:20080638). Plays a role in the assembly of BBSome, a complex involved in ciliogenesis regulating transports vesicles to the cilia (PubMed:20080638). May play a role in protein processing in limb, cardiac and reproductive system development. May play a role in cytokinesis (PubMed:28753627)
