The function of CCT7 (chaperonin containing TCP1 subunit 7, ENSG00000135624) is as follows. Component of the chaperonin-containing T-complex (TRiC), a molecular chaperone complex that assists the folding of actin, tubulin and other proteins upon ATP hydrolysis (PubMed:25467444, PubMed:36493755, PubMed:35449234, PubMed:37193829). The TRiC complex mediates the folding of WRAP53/TCAB1, thereby regulating telomere maintenance (PubMed:25467444). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25467444, ECO:0000269|PubMed:35449234, ECO:0000269|PubMed:36493755, ECO:0000269|PubMed:37193829}.
