Enables protein folding chaperone. Involved in lysosomal transport and protein folding. Acts upstream of or within DNA repair; response to heat; and telomere maintenance. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including 1-cell stage conceptus; crista ampullaris; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and vibrissa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Kawasaki disease; autoimmune disease of musculoskeletal system (multiple); cystic fibrosis; idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; and schizophrenia (multiple).
