46124:K8O88 RS02615
gene id: 46124:K8O88_RS02615
uniprot id: E2FB29
names: Function
names: Similarity
names: Subcellular Location Annotation
names: Subunit
messages: Belongs to the GroES chaperonin family.
messages: Cytoplasm
messages: Heptamer of 7 subunits arranged in a ring. Interacts with the chaperonin GroEL.
messages: Together with the chaperonin GroEL, plays an essential role in assisting protein folding. The GroEL-GroES system forms a nano-cage that allows encapsulation of the non-native substrate proteins and provides a physical environment optimized to promote and accelerate protein folding. GroES binds to the apical surface of the GroEL ring, thereby capping the opening of the GroEL channel.
